Answer to Question 1

A
Good hygiene meets the need for love and belonging by conveying to others willingness for social interaction. Safety and security needs relate more to the client's feeling secure in his environment and providing measures to keep clients safe; infection control and self-care are not actual needs, but the concepts fall into the category of physiological needs.

Answer to Question 2

D
By providing food, Meals on Wheels would remove one responsibility for this client. A recreational club or an adult education program might be beneficial, but the priority need for this couple is food. A daycare center for the elderly may be necessary in the future, but it is not a priority at this time.
