In week 3, you must complete a worksheet analyzing a case study. For this session, here is the case study under consideration:

In an outpatient care setting, a healthcare risk management case arises due to the inappropriate delegation of duties by a nurse practitioner (NP) to a medical assistant (MA). The NP, overwhelmed by patient volume and time constraints, delegates tasks beyond the MA's scope of practice, leading to potential risks to patient safety.

Please complete the Week 3 worksheet after reviewing the grading rubric. You are expected to write robustly and at the graduate level using scholarly sources as defined by the NP Program Scholarly Sources Expectations document.

Sources not more than 5 years.
