Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
When Maslow's hierarchy of needs is applied to rehabilitation, the person in the acute stage of illness or injury first requires assistance with basic survival needs, such as maintaining an open airway and an adequate oxygenation level, obtaining food and water, and eliminating wastes. Next, activities of daily living (ADLs) are addressed, such as being able to feed, dress, and bathe oneself; the ability to move independently; and being able to communicate effectively. Later, the person learns to work toward self-actualization and to be a creative and contributing member of society.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Analgesics produce symptomatic relief from pain and can be used to relieve backache. Diuretics rid the body of excess fluids by increasing urine volume. Antitussives are medications used to relieve cough. Antiflatulents are used to treat symptoms associated with excess flatus in the digestive tract.
