Social Work Interview Question:

Suppose you have 5 computer assessments due, 3 new admissions, 2 discharges and care plans today. How do you prioritize your day?

Submitted by: Muhammad

► Organize day into related activities to increase efficiency
► Do all related tasks at once, i.e. gather all charts to complete MDS
assessments at one time
► Determine what time the residents will be discharging and ensure
all services are arranged to facilitate a safe d/c plan (all this should
have already been arranged prior to the day of d/c but now it's just
making sure it all falls into place)
► Since care plans are at scheduled times, all other activities must
take place around those
► Save the new admissions for the end of the day unless
intervention is needed sooner
► Remain focused on the task at hand
► Minimize interruptions
