Answer to Question 1

D
A living will allows a person to legally declare preferences about using life-sustaining measures should the person be unable to make these wishes known. The living will outlines life-prolonging treatments that are not to be performed. Although living wills are not recognized in all states, it is important for health care providers to consider client preferences in making decisions about prolonging life.

Answer to Question 2

C
Maslow's hierarchy of needs consists of five levels: physiologic, safety and security, love and belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization. The essence of the theory is that a person's needs can be illustrated in a pyramid with the lowest-level needs forming its base. Subsequent-level needs are built upon this base, forming a hierarchical arrangement. A person's lowest-level needs must be met before the person is motivated to achieve the next level of needs; higher-level needs contribute to the individual's quality of life.
