| A) | Love and belonging | |
| B) | Physiologic | |
| C) | Self-esteem | |
| D) | Self-actualization | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Love and belonging needs include the understanding and acceptance of others in both giving and receiving love, and the feeling of belonging to families, peers, friends, a neighborhood, and a community. The inclusion of family and friends in the care of a client is a nursing intervention to meet this need. | ||
| 2. | The community health nurse is creating a plan of care for a client with Parkinson’s disease. The client’s spouse has provided care to the client for the past five years and the client’s care needs are increasing. What is an appropriate nursing diagnosis for the client and family? | |
| A) | Risk for Caregiver Role Strain. | |
| B) | Health Seeking Behaviors. | |
| C) | Parental Role Conflict. | |
| D) | Readiness for Enhanced Family Processes. | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Long-term care of a family member with a chronic illness may lead to caregiver role strain, so the most appropriate nursing diagnosis is “Risk for Caregiver Role Strain.” | ||
| 3. | During the course of assessing the family structure and behaviors of a pediatric patient’s family, the nurse has identified a number of highly significant risk factors. Which of the following actions should the nurse prioritize when addressing these risk factors? | |
| A) | Engage in appropriate health promotion activities. | |
| B) | Validate the family’s unique way of being. | |
| C) | Enlist the help of community and social support. | |
| D) | Introduce the family to another family that possesses fewer risk factors. | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The role of the nurse in reducing risk factors involves activities that promote health for all family members at any level of development. This consideration supersedes the importance of validating the family’s current way of being or enlisting the help of others. Introducing the family to a “model” family is ethically and logistically questionable. | ||

| A) | Physiologic | |
| B) | Safety and security | |
| C) | Love and belonging | |
| D) | Self-esteem | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Physiologic needs, the most basic in the hierarchy of needs, are the most essential to life and have the highest priority. Physiologic needs include oxygen, water, food, temperature, elimination, sexuality, physical activity, and rest. | ||
| 5. | Which of the following is a tenant of Maslow’s basic human needs hierarchy? | |
| A) | A need that is unmet prompts a person to seek a higher level of wellness. | |
| B) | A person feels ambivalence when a need is successfully met. | |
| C) | Certain needs are more basic than others and must be met first. | |
| D) | People have many needs and should strive to meet them simultaneously. | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Maslow arranged the hierarchy to show that certain needs are more basic than others. Although all people have all the needs all the time, people generally strive to meet priority needs (at least to a minimal level) before attending to other needs. The hierarchy is also based on the theory that something is a basic need if it has the following characteristics: (1) its absence results in illness, (2) its presence helps prevent illness or signals health, (3) meeting the need restores health, (4) it is preferred over other satisfactions when unmet, (5) one feels something is missing when the need is not met, and (6) one feels satisfaction when the need is met. | ||
