  1. Right Diagnosis

  2. Right Medication

  4. Right Treatment

The correct answer is: Right Task

One of the Five Rights of Nursing Delegation is the "Right Task". This refers to the responsibility of the nurse to delegate tasks that are appropriate for the level of knowledge, skill and abilities of the person being delegated to. Option A, Right Diagnosis, is not one of the Five Rights of Nursing Delegation as it is the responsibility of the nurse to carry out the proper diagnosis. Option B, Right Medication, is not one of the Five Rights of Nursing Delegation as it falls under the Right Treatment. Option D, Right Treatment, is not one of the Five Rights of Nursing Delegation as it encompasses many factors, including medication and other interventions. The correct answer, C, is the most specific and accurate choice as it directly relates to the action of delegating a task.
