Delegation is the assignment of authority to another person to carry out specific activities. Delegation is an important tool for team cohesion and training in any work setting. It can be a critical time management tool for nurses. Nurses have a variety of duties and, in many cases, a large number of patients in their care. Because patient care requires many time-consuming tasks, delegation is a vital tool to helping nurses spend their time in the most productive ways possible. Registered nurses have the ability to delegate tasks to several different kinds of healthcare professionals, including licensed nurses and nursing assistants, though the precise duties of each role vary from state to state. In the long term, it builds valuable skills in those you delegate to, making it easier to delegate to them in the future.
An investigation into a universal pictorial language must begin with history and how symbols became common use in our lives and the world we live in.

The ideas of the Modernist movement were dedicated in developing equality in every aspect. Within the first chapter of this essay, the Isotype institute is discussed in relation to Modernism and how they intended on creating equality through knowledge and understanding. This is the foundation of this essay, to aid in the pursuit of a universal pictorial language. On one side there is information equality and education, and on the other for safety and guidance.
Within the third chapter it is discussed whether a pictorial language could extend to other planets with hypothetical intelligent life. As humans, we have always presented ourselves through imagery and art, a need to let others know that we exist. This chapter analyses the Voyager Golden Record and it’s attempt in explaining human life to the universe. An extension of humanity and the hope that something understands it.
There is only an infinitesimal chance that the plaque will ever be seen by a single extraterrestrial, but it will certainly be seen by billions of terrestrials. Its real function, therefore, is to appeal to and expand the human spirit,and to make contact with extraterrestrial intelligence a welcome expectation of mankind. (Sagan.C, 1978).
