Introduction to Oregon Nursing Regulations and Delegation Welcome to the training on Oregon's nursing regulations. This program is designed to ensure that all nursing staff are knowledgeable about the state guidelines that govern nursing practice in assisted living and residential care settings. Oregon has established comprehensive rules under the Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR), specifically Chapter 851, which outlines the responsibilities of licensed nurses. These rules emphasize the importance of delivering high-quality care, maintaining resident safety, and ensuring compliance with legal standards. A critical component of nursing practice in Oregon is delegation. Registered Nurses (RNs) play a pivotal role in delegating tasks to caregivers who are not licensed nurses. Delegation allows RNs to ensure that residents receive necessary care while empowering caregivers to assist in specific tasks, such as medication administration and monitoring health conditions like blood sugar levels. Throughout this training, we will cover: Key Oregon regulations governing nursing practices. The RN’s responsibility in delegation of tasks to non-licensed staff. The process for assessing caregiver competency before and after delegation. Proper documentation and monitoring to ensure that all delegated tasks are performed safely and effectively. By the end of this training, you will have a clear understanding of Oregon’s nursing regulations, your responsibilities, and the best practices for safely delegating and managing care in a residential or assisted living setting.
