Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
When a client has diverse priority needs, it helps to focus on the client's basic needs; pain will exacerbate the client's anxiety and interfere with eating and thus should be attended to first. While a concern, constipation is the lowest priority problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
The well-organized nurse approaches any planned procedures by having all of the necessary equipment available and making sure the client is prepared. It always is wise to have the work area organized and preliminary steps completed before asking co-workers for assistance. Multi-tasking is dealing with more than one task at a time while being effective means doing the right things correctly. Being professional means showing the characteristics of performing the ex-pected tasks of the profession.
