Scenario: 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.
