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. Document assessment findings and interventions after providing care for a group of clients: Delaying documentation increases the risk of forgetting important details and can compromise accuracy and continuity of care. Timely documentation is critical. B. Delay cleaning personal work area until the end of the shift: Postponing cleaning may lead to disorganization and inefficiency throughout the shift, potentially impacting infection control and readiness for patient care. C. Complete activities for one client before moving to the next client: Focusing on completing care for one client at a time promotes continuity, reduces task repetition, and improves prioritization and time management. D. Gather supplies for a client's dressing change after removing the old dressing: This approach wastes time and may expose the wound to contaminants. Preparing all supplies in advance supports efficiency and infection control.
