outcomes, including fewer complications, increased pain control and decreased anxiety

continues until the patient is discharged. Patient complications and readmission rates
are reduced with comprehensive discharge planning

efficient care is dependent upon determining which patient needs are most urgent. To
prioritize needs the use analyzes the patients nursing diagnoses. The most urgent
needs are given high priorate and the needs less urgent are lower priority.

physiology, safety, and security take priority over diagnoses related to self-acutlaizaiton,
self-esteem, and low and belonging (a patient's nursing diagnosis of impaired gas
exchange is of more immediate concern than the patient's diagnosis of situational low
self-esteem)
Levels of maslow's hierarchy of needs ✅self-actualization, self-esteem, love and
belonging, safety and security, physiological needs
