Answer to Question 1

C
One of the most common methods of selecting priorities is the use of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which requires that life-threatening diagnoses be given more urgency that non-life-threatening diagnoses. Once the basic physiological needs are met, the nurse can consider needs on the next level of the hierarchy and so on up the hierarchy until all of the patient's nursing diagnoses have been prioritized.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
