Delegator
the definition is the person who is delegating. I would clarify

both of these references appear to be the same, and if so, why not have just the one reference?
individuals to whom the task has been delegated should have demonstrated and documented competency for the delegated task, care, or activity. Other important considerations with delegation include education and training of the delegatee, experience of the staff me
this content was discussed in great detail already. I suggest sharing examples: state which tasks could be delegated to which staff and to which patients.
This broad statement doesn't add much value as is.

you abbreviate RN but not this, these abbreviations have been shared multiple times so far

throughout this page and other chapters throughout this book, you have shared duplicate citations. why not use the same reference and citations?

bears the responsibility
below you define accountability, may be helpful to define responsibility.
delegating to a licensed nurse, the delegated responsibility must be within the parameters of the delegatee’s authorized scope of practice under the NPA.
in this instance you refer to NPA when delegating to a licensed nurse, this sounds like it confirms previous points that an AP does not abide by the NPA
critical
do you want to add in critical thinking? I believe this was referred to previously, albeit not the NGND guidelines.

team member’s scope of practice as defined by their state’s Nurse Practice Act
this would apply only to nurses, other team members do not abide by the NPA. I'd reword this sentence.

would you consider one other strategy, use of agency staff? It fits in with the discussion of economics as agency staff are costly
client
sometimes you refer to patients and clients, I suggest referring to patients.
health disparities
do students know what this means? I don't believe I've read a definition so far in this chapter, it's my third one. there are many concepts defined multiple times in this text, suggest defining it here.
I teach global health and so many students (at the graduate level) think this has the same or very similar meaning as health inequities and health inequalities.

all of these examples are health insurance related, this is the only one that is not, more of a resource anyone can use
American Indians
in my workplace, we were told not to use "American Indian". I read articles that state the term Indians came from C. Columbus, thinking he was in India.
Suggest using Native Americans or Indigenous
to people with special health needs
this is essential the same as the title of the program. adding in an example of special health needs would help
laboratory tests and diagnostic testing,
instead: laboratory and diagnostic testing
Populations
why is half the man 'covered' when it's only pregnant women being covered? this part of the image is confusing.
adults are covered, with disability, that is confusing.

Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law
I feel this reads better:
Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law in 1965
upheld the ACA
I would clarify there is no financial penalty for the individual mandate
mandated coverage is governmental intrusion on an individual’s rights.
remove this content due to the point made earlier
Failure to follow these mandates resulted in annual tax penalties to individuals
individuals are no longer penalized for not having insurance, refer to this link.
praise and blame
and also lead to ethical dilemmas, such as providing futile care (long-term vented patients)
though I do see this is about economics... but futile care is quite costly
Gross Domestic Product (GDP
most of us have heard about GDP but will students know what it actually means? I suggest a sentence defining this concept so the graph can be more informative.
Clinical intoxication

did you mean affect?
Just Culture
this is an excellent image!
Legal/Ethical
does this chapter share an example, such as SPAN, that I suggested earlier?
“Administration of Enteral Medications
does this chapter refer to 3 right?
medication rights x 3
there are more than 3 rights, the IHI explains the 5 rights, though there are many others, such as 6, 8, etc.
workarounds
when using EHRs?
resolution
suggest removing the large spaces under this and the next section of this table. Others look good.
died
what were the repercussions? it was helpful reading this info in other sample cases, suggest adding this here, as the student would be very curious what would happen to them if they are in this situation.
seA
with all these sample cases, I suggest adding a space in between case and the first word of the sentence
the state
Wisconsin? clarify
Drug Diversion and Substance Abuse
suggest sharing somewhere in this chapter, maybe here, that some states have programs in place to assist nurses with substance abuse, such as in NY, SPAN
Damages
I know it's hard to find images for a section like this one, but this just doesn't fit. maybe if some of these images were smaller it would look better?

here is an example where the citation is at the end, not in the heading.

as with previous comments, these citations should be in the text below.
Breach of Duty
I don't see how this illustrates breach of duty, this image is not helpful. as with previous comments, this and other images are way too large

a heading would not have a citation. move the citation to the narrative below.

this is the same link as the one for TJC above

earlier you used an "&", which is correct. change to & here
Figure
these figures are too large, other sections as well
give
consider "provide"?

reword, "no"
unfreeze
as noted in a previous comment by someone else, this concept is written as "unfreezing" multiple times. I suggest using the same concept throughout.
Change Management
match up this wording to the wording in the narrative
See Figure 4.4[2] for an illustration of change
the image is not an illustration of change. either change the image to reflect the description or change the description.

I suggest referring to "Greenleaf Center", not the URL

this was abbreviated earlier, you write ANA here
client care technicians (PCT)
wouldn't this be abbreviated CCT?
education regarding pain reduction techniques
vague, which techniques were taught and did the patient understand?
Which pain meds were given?
this documentation needs further refining.
tachycardic with increased blood pressure
documentation should include objective measurements, just as pain is measured as an 8/10.
jaundice
and checking liver function bloodwork
complementary approaches
consider sharing a brief paragraph on CAM
Figure 11.13
if you refer to the figure first and the table second, show them in the order they are discussed.
stimulant such as sennoside
Senna can be addictive, and should not be taken long-term, usually about 2 weeks. I suggest adding this important information.
!
is this exclamation mark needed?
Pain medication includes morphine, hydromorphone, and dilaudid
I suggest adding fentanyl to this list, replacing either hydromorphone or Dilaudid, as it corresponds to the image you direct your reader to... Also, hydromorphone and Dilaudid are the same medication--brand and generic
Tramadol
this is not the brand name for Ketorolac. it is Acuvail, Acular LS, Acular
Tramadol is not an NSAID

cognitive impairment. Although the speed of processing and memory can be affected, normal aspects of aging do not include cognitive deficits
