Answer 1

Answer:

Action	Reason
First Action: Room no # 1 Tina Clark Administer HPV and Flu shot	administering vaccine will take only few minutes. Giving the first preference to this patient because she needs to be under observation for 30 minutes. Delaying in administration will simply occupy the room unnecessarily.
Second Action: Fill Scouts PE form	It will take only few minutes. Moving to other patients will make them wait for too long. So second preference is given to them.
Final Action: Room #3 Kym Elgin	Finally, approach the Kym Elgin to follow up on her medication. meanwhile, I can keep ready of everything for the checking patient for DOT physical. Both these took a long time, so it was given as last preference.
