Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The highest priority for the patient is maintenance of basic physiologic needs, such as hydra-tion. Mobility is of lesser physiological importance than fluid volume. The remaining options do not have priority over a physiological need.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An early step would be to make choices about nonthreatening matters when presented with limited alternatives. The remaining options represent decisions that are too complicated for the patient to make initially.
