Maslow described a theory of human needs in which simple, basic needs are identified in relation to more complex, higher-level needs. During the recovery period, a professor is focusing on the simpler, basic hierarchy of needs
What is the term when the most basic needs have been met rather than dealing with the higher-level needs that the nurse would document about this professor at this time? A) Affection needs
B) Regression
C) Physical needs
D) Secondary needs
B
Feedback:
Regression, or focusing on a lower-level need that has already been fulfilled, is common in illness or injury. For example, a client recovering from an illness will focus on physical and emotional energies on recovery (physical needs) before returning to employment (security) or dealing with love, affection, belonging, or self-esteem needs(secondary needs).
