Answer to Question 1

B
Second-priority activities pertain to safety issues. Assisting in the transfer of a patient is one way of providing safe care for both the patient and the nurse. First-priority activities are related to conditions that are life-threatening or potentially life-threatening, such as having IV access and the continuous monitoring of vital signs for critical patients. Third-priority activities are directly related to the plan of care, such as medications, nutrition, and ambulation. The fourth priority phase is not generally used in nursing.

Answer to Question 2

C
Vacarro (2007) identified five potential traps of prioritizing that nurses need to be aware of and avoid. These potential traps are: 1) doing what hits first, 2) taking the path of least resistance, 3) responding to the squeaky wheel, 4) completing tasks, and 5) relying on misguided inspiration.
