Answer to Question 1

D
Another way that nurses make effective use of available time is by setting priorities. Three priority areas have been identified to assist nurses in categorizing tasks for safe patient outcomes. These categories are: 1) first priority: problems with ABCs; 2) second priority: activities essential to safety; and 3) third priority: comfort, healing, and teaching. While planning and prevention are also important parts of nursing, they can be located under the other three categories depending on the task and patient need.

Answer to Question 2

C
The acronym ABC can be used to assist nurses with prioritization of patient care and assessment of patient needs. ABC stands for: A=airway (patent airway?); B=breathing (respiratory status?); and C=circulation (circulatory compromise?).
