She has confided to a classmate, ìFor the first time I feel like I'm able to make a real difference in people's lives.î This nursing student is expressing which of Maslow's categories of human needs?
A) Physiologic needs
B) Love and belonging
C) Fulfillment
D) Safety and security
Ans: C
Feedback:
This student nurse has expressed fulfillment in her new role, stating that she is able to have a deeply significant and transcendent effect on others from which she also derives benefit. This statement does not express physiologic needs or safety and security. The student implies that she also belongs in this setting, but the meaning of her interactions goes beyond simply being in an appropriate place.
