Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The nurse's difficulty in completing work and clocking out late suggest time management problems, which are further evidenced by the charge nurse's description of the nurse as having no organization or daily routine. The other options, heavy patient load, understaffed hospital, and management position, may also contribute to stress and workload, but do not directly explain the nurse's lack of organization and time management skills.
