According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the nursing strategies a psychiatric nurse would use to assist in meeting self-esteem needs of elderly clients would include:
 
  1. Supporting needs for intimacy
  2. Assisting with obtaining financial help
  3. Identifying the individual's locus of control
  4. Promoting attractive physical appearance

Question 2

Which statement should guide a nurse working with geriatric clients in planning care for this population? Responses to loss by the elderly differ from responses by younger cohorts in that:
 
  1. The elderly have ineffective coping mechanisms related to ageism
  2. Losses are more intense for the elderly because of their increased vulnerability
  3. Loss has less meaning for the elderly because of memory impairments
  4. Losses are often multiple, thus rendering past coping mechanisms ineffective

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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
