Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - CORRECT-ANSWERSPhysiological, safety and
security, love and belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization.
In theory, the highest priority needs are those necessary for survival and make
up the foundation of the triangle. While this is usually the case, higher levels of
the pyramid may compete with those at the foundation depending on the
specific client situation.
Nursing process - CORRECT-ANSWERSIs a problem solving process you can use
to diagnose and treat the response of clients to actual and potential alterations
in health.
Acute vs. Chronic - CORRECT-ANSWERSAcute needs are usually given priority as
they may pose more of a threat to the client.
Chronic needs usually develop over a period of time giving the body the
opportunity to adjust to the alteration in health. Thus chronic alterations - unless
a complication is being experienced - are usually considered to be a lower
priority.
Urgent vs. Nonurgent - CORRECT-ANSWERSUrgent needs are usually given
priority because they pose more of a threat to the client. Some needs fall into
the urgent category because they relate to an intervention that needs to be done
within a prescribed time frame. The urgent vs nonurgent needs priority-setting
framework is also applicable when the nurse is caring for a group of clients, and
a determination must be made in regard to which client has the most urgent
need and should be attended to first.
