Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Promoting an attractive physical appearance will assist clients in meeting the need for self-esteem. Clients receive positive feedback when appearance is attractive. Option 1 is related to the need for belonging. Option 2 is related to the need for safety and security. Option 3 is not related to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
The additive or multiple nature of losses for the elderly can be debilitating. Options 1, 2, and 3 are not entirely true statements.
