Question

a nurse is using maslows hierarchy of needs in assisting with discharge planning for a client. which of the following activities should the nurse recommend as the priority for this client? volunteer at the local food pantry. attend an exercise program. find an enjoyable hobby. support environmental conservation

Explanation:

Maslow's hierarchy of needs has physiological needs (like food, shelter) as the base, then safety, love/belonging, esteem, self - actualization. Attending an exercise program relates to physiological (health) or safety (well - being) needs, which are lower - priority but more fundamental for health post - discharge compared to the other options (volunteering, hobby, environmental support are higher - level needs like esteem or self - actualization). Wait, no, let's re - evaluate. Wait, exercise is about physical health, which is a physiological need (or part of self - care for health). Wait, the other options: volunteering is about social/belonging or esteem, hobby is self - actualization/esteem, environmental conservation is self - actualization/esteem. Attending an exercise program is about maintaining physical health, which is a more basic need in Maslow's hierarchy (physiological or safety - related to health). So the nurse should recommend attending an exercise program as a priority for the client's health and well - being, which is a more fundamental need in the hierarchy.

Answer:

B. Attend an exercise program
