Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Maslow's hierarchy,physiological needs and safety are the highest priority.Sleep is a basic physiological need.Infection can threaten physical health.In this question,infection is not present; therefore,there is only a risk for it.Sleep Deprivation is an immediate problem that affects general physical,mental,and emotional health.Neither Anxiety nor Disturbed Body image is a physiological or safety need.Anxiety is a more immediate need than is Disturbed Body Image; therefore,it probably deserves a higher ranking.Remind students that the ranking would depend on the severity of each problem,which is not known by the labels alone.
