Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Task that falls within Priority B includes the medium-value items, such as tasks that are not urgent but most likely will not "fall" off the list. Since the dress code must be reviewed and feedback constructed for a morning appointment, this would be level B, it is not urgent nor will it likely fall off the list. Completing patient teaching for a patient to be discharged in 2 hours must be completed but does not take priority over "A" tasks. Reviewing a procedure to be performed later in the day is Level "B."
