Question 38

Time management in nursing: Meeting patient needs is central. Documentation, rounds, or early ADLs are tasks, but the key part is addressing patient needs. So option d is correct.

Empathy is the ability to understand others' feelings. Tact is diplomacy, patience is tolerance, cooperation is working together. So empathy aligns with understanding (option c).

Nursing assistant protocol: Leaving the unit requires reporting to the nurse. Taking vitals, completing care, or documenting don't need prior reporting in this context. So option d is correct.

Answer:

d. meeting the patient’s needs.
