The nurse is working to manage time effectively and has created a to-do list. What is the first thing the nurse should do?
a. Prioritize list items.
b. Question item effectiveness.
c. Practice self-reliance.
d. Get a treat.
A
The nurse needs to first prioritize the list, determining what needs to be done first. The nurse cannot question the effectiveness of an item until the task is performed, so this is not the first thing the nurse should do. Self-reliance will be the second step, determining which of the steps can be performed independently. Treating oneself is something that is done after priority steps have been identified and performed.
