Which statement indicates the nurse's understanding of effective time management?

a. "The purpose of effective time manage-ment is to save hours, minutes, and seconds.".
b. "The purpose of effective time manage-ment is to do as much as possible in as short a time as possible.".
c. "The purpose of effective time manage-ment is to do as little as possible.".
d. "The purpose of effective time manage-ment is to achieve personal and profes-sional goals.".


D
Making time to meet your individual, family, professional, and career needs and goals is vital to overall success and is the primary purpose of time management. Stating the purpose of effective time management as saving time or doing as much or as little as possible in a short time would not indicate the nurse's understanding. Procrastinating and doing as little as possible are not characteristic of effective time management.
