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. |
