Answer to Question 1

B
A definition of time management is a set of related common-sense tools that helps you use your time
in the most effective and productive way possible (Mind Tools, 2006). The Pareto principle concerns
the concept that 20 percent of focused efforts results in 80 percent of outcome results. Shift planning
deals with the organization and prioritization of patient care and tasks per shift. While the use of time
management skills is a quality of effective leadership, it encompasses a variety of other attributes and
qualities such as management skills, knowledge of leadership techniques, theory, and practice.
