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).
