Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
According to Orem, individuals can provide self-care activities to maintain life, health, and well-being. According to this theory, self-care deficit occurs or exists when the therapeutic self-care demand is greater than the person's capacity to meet the demand. Self-care deficits occur during times of illness.
