Answer to Question 1

D
A report is an exchange of information between health care members. Transfer reports involve communication of information about patients from one nurse on the sending unit to the nurse on the receiving unit.

Answer to Question 2

D
Individuals need to satisfy each level before moving on to the next. Belonging occupies the third stage, where threats to relationships create anticipatory loneliness and alienation. Self-esteem occupies the fourth stage, and threats create alienation. Self actualization is the highest level that one can achievethe realization that one has reached their highest potential. Safety and security occupies the second stage, and threats to security (such as pain) produce feelings of insecurity.
