Haw. Code R. § 16-89-100 - Purpose
It is the intent of the board that the delegation of tasks of nursing care to unlicensed assistive personnel be the exception rather than the rule unless the registered nurse can justify the need for delegation.
The board believes that unlicensed assistive personnel can be utilized to provide tasks of nursing care under the specific delegation and supervision of a registered nurse and not under any licensed practical nurse. Nothing in this subchapter shall limit a licensed practical nurse from providing care within the scope of their practice.
A registered nurse may delegate in any setting at any time; provided that when the registered nurse is not regularly scheduled and not available to provide direct supervision, the registered nurse shall provide indirect supervision.
Notes
