Which of the following is NOT one of the five rights of delegation?

• A. Right Task
• B. Right Circumstances
• C. Right Person
• D. Right Timing

Answer: (D)

The important idea here is understanding the five rights of delegation. They are: Right Task, Right Circumstances, Right Person, Right Direction and Communication, and Right Supervision and Evaluation. Timing isn’t listed as its own separate right. Timing matters, but it falls under the broader idea of the right circumstances—whether the patient’s condition, available resources, and setting are appropriate for the task at that moment. So, while timing is important in deciding when to delegate, it isn’t one of the five explicit rights. That’s why the option labeling Right Timing is not one of the five rights.
