Below are some common delegation issues with examples. Give your own examples of over-delegation, under-delegation, and refusal to accept a legitimate delegation, and explain what you would do in each case.   

Over-delegation. (Would you pass my medications for me and sign off my orders? Im really busy).

Under-delegation. (Ill do it myself. The nursing assistant argues with me when I ask her to do something/I always have to do it over).

Refusal to accept assignment of legitimate delegation. (I dont know how to do that very well/I have too much work already/Its always me that gets the work; ask someone else/Im too busy/I wont be able to do a very good job, but if thats what you want)
