A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is planning care for assigned clients. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take to demonstrate effective time management?

A. Complete activities for one client before moving to the next client. Focusing on completing tasks for one client at a time helps ensure safe, uninterrupted care, reduces errors, and promotes efficiency in task completion. B. Document assessment findings and interventions after providing care for a group of clients. Delaying documentation increases the risk of forgetting important details and may lead to inaccuracies. Documentation should be done promptly after care is provided. C. Gather supplies for a client's dressing change after removing the old dressing. Supplies should be gathered before beginning a procedure to prevent delays, reduce exposure time, and avoid leaving the client unattended. D. Delay cleaning personal work area until the end of the shift. Maintaining a clean and organized workspace throughout the shift improves efficiency, infection control, and safety, especially in shared environments.
