How do you prioritize your tasks when you have multiple patients to attend to in a busy healthcare setting?

This question evaluates the candidate's ability to manage time effectively in a high-pressure environment. It helps the interviewer understand how the candidate prioritizes tasks to ensure patient safety and care.

Provide an example that illustrates your decision-making process. You might mention a specific shift where you had to assess patient needs quickly and explain how you determined which patients required immediate attention versus those who could wait. For example, 'During my shift in the emergency room, I used a triage system to prioritize care based on severity, ensuring critical patients received prompt attention.'
