Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Operant conditioning involves giving positive reinforcement for a desired behavior. Treats are rewards and reinforce speech through positive reinforcement.

ANS: A
The need for food and hygiene are physiological and therefore take priority over psychological or meta-needs in care planning.
