Nursing Interview Questions and Answers

Question: How do you prioritize patient care when faced with multiple tasks?

Answer: I prioritize patient care based on the severity of the condition, ensuring that critical cases receive immediate attention. I also delegate tasks to support staff when appropriate, while maintaining effective communication within the healthcare team.

Example:

In a busy shift, I encountered a situation where two patients required immediate attention. I quickly assessed the urgency of each case, assigned tasks to available staff, and coordinated care to ensure both patients received timely and quality assistance.
