A nurse volunteers time in a homeless shelter and wants to set up a free vaccination clinic in the shelter
Although the shelter's managers think that vaccinations are a good idea, they are skeptical that clients will take the time to visit the nurse. What modification to the proposal would generate better success according to Maslow? a. Educate the shelter clients on the benefits of vaccines.
b. Give vaccinations after meals in a corner of the cafeteria.
c. Make vaccinations mandatory for staying at the shelter.
d. Offer vaccinations as clients check in to spend the night.
B
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, there are five broad layers of need, starting with basic human physiological needs such as food and water. According to this theory, these basic needs must be met first. After clients' needs for food and water have been satisfied, they might be open to vaccinations.
Education is always a good idea, but according to Maslow, basic human needs come first.
Making vaccinations mandatory might drive some of the homeless clients away.
Basic physiological needs should be met first; offering vaccinations before meeting the need for sleep and rest might not result in a high level of acceptance.
