Planning is the fourth step of the nursing process. It involves the prioritization of nursing diagnoses and care and the selection of nursing interventions
According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which situation exemplifies a physiological need? a. a child experiencing an asthma episode
b. an infant whose side rails are left down on her crib
c. a high school girl who is not selected to be on the dance team
d. a child whose parents constantly call him "stupid"
A
According to Maslow, basic needs such as oxygen, water, and food take priority over all other issues. The child experiencing an asthma episode must have her physiological need for oxygen met before safety needs are attended to. Side rails on a crib are a safety need. Not being chosen for a dance team is a belonging and self-esteem need. Constantly being called "stupid" relates to a self-esteem need.
