Answer to Question 1

B
Second priority activities pertain to the patient, and obtaining assistance during patient transfers is one
way of providing safe care for the patient and the nurse. First priority activities are related to
conditions that are potentially life-threatening to the patient such as having IV access and continuous
monitoring of vital signs on critical patients. Third priority activities are related directly to the plan of
care and include such items as medications, nutrition, and ambulation. The phrase fourth priority is
not generally used in nursing.
