Answer to Question 2
1,2,3,5
Rationale 1: Nurses are like anyone else in that they tend to do things they enjoy before they do things they do not enjoy.
Rationale 2: Nurses (and others) often do those things that they can get done most quickly first. They feel satisfaction with having one thing done and out of the way.
Rationale 3: Nurses tend to prioritize based on who wants something donefor example, if a client wants something that is a priority over the nurse manager needing a report.
Rationale 4: It is generally more time efficient to tackle uninteresting jobs first and get them completed before starting interesting jobs that may absorb more of the nurse's time. Uninteresting jobs are likely to be completed as quickly as possible. However, it is not human nature to do what is not interesting first.
Rationale 5: Nurses tend to work on things as they come up and often end up working on unplanned tasks before planned tasks. This is related to the unpredictable nature of working with people who are ill.
