Answer to Question 1

D
Prioritizing care is one way that nurses have of organizing their patient care duties. Tasks related to life-threatening or potentially life-threatening conditions (e.g., assessing a patient's ABCs) are always the top priority. Patient safety concerns come second (e.g., availability of crash carts, equipment to help prevent falls or injury). The third area of patient care duties relates to the plan of care and patient comfort, education (e.g., pain medication, patient positioning, diabetes education).

Answer to Question 2

C
Experienced staff to deal with problems
