Reverse delegation occurs when a person at a lower level of authority asks someone at a higher level of authority to perform a task that is within their own scope of practice. In this situation, the licensed practical nurse is asking the nurse manager to administer insulin to the client, which is outside of the nurse manager's scope of practice.
