The correct answer involves addressing a potentially life-threatening situation (airway, breathing, circulation) or an urgent issue before non-urgent tasks. Effective workload management requires prioritization based on the client's immediate needs, acuity levels, and safety risks. Administering pain medication to a client in severe 9/10 postoperative pain takes precedence over non-critical tasks like documenting care or non-urgent teaching. While reorganizing supplies can improve workflow later, it does not address an immediate client concern.
