The form of animal behavior that this prairie dog on guard duty exhibits is altruistic behavior. This means that the dog isn't only thinking about itself, but rather about the others as well.

It seems that not only humans, but also animals are capable of showing such a behavior.
If ΔG is negative, the reaction is always spontaneous. If ΔG is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous and will require a sustained input of energy for it occur. If ΔG is zero, the reaction is at equilibrium and no work can be done.
Studies related to staffing and patient outcomes suggest that patient outcomes are improved with a low nurse-to-patient ratio and especially with a low registered nurse-to-patient ratio.
If one nurse has to take care of more patients then the service quality will fall down.
If one nurse will take care of one or two patients then the service will be better.
The more the 1:1 ratio, the more the better service.
