Answer to Question 1

A
In the study conducted by Heindrich, Chow, Skierczyski, and Lu (2008) it was found that 14 of nurse's time was spent in care coordination and direct patient care. Nonproductive personal time accounted for 6, non-nursing practices accounted for 13, and documentation accounted for 25.

The Pareto principle reminds us that it is important to focus our efforts on activities that can maximize the results that we get. It also states that 20 of focused efforts can result in 80 of results (Pareto principle, 2008).
