Answer to Question 1

D
Regression is the retreating to an earlier level of development and the comfort measures associated with that level of functioning.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse should immediately intervene when a client exhibits aggressive behavior toward another client. Safety and security are considered lower-level needs according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs and must be fulfilled before other, higher-level needs can be met. Clients who complain, have feelings of failure, or state that no one cares are struggling with higher-level needs such as the need for love and belonging or the need for self-esteem.
