Answer to Question 1

D
First-priority activities pertain to life-threatening or potentially life-threatening conditions and are the highest level for prioritization of nursing tasks. These tasks include assessment, monitoring, and intervention (per the prescribed treatment plan) of the patient's ABCs (airway-breathing-circulation). Second-priority activities include those that are essential to the patient's safety, such as providing assistance during patient transfers. Third-priority activities are concerned with comfort and teaching. There is no fourth priority noted.

Answer to Question 2

B
Acceptance
