Which of the following is an example of a safety need according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

A. Economic stability refers to the financial resources and income available to individuals and families. Unemployment directly impacts economic stability, leading to challenges in accessing basic needs such as housing, food, and healthcare.
B. While education is an important determinant of health, the client’s unemployment does not directly indicate a challenge related to their educational attainment. It is possible for an individual to be well- educated yet still face unemployment due to various factors, such as the job market or specific industry conditions.
C. This factor includes the physical and social environments in which individuals live, such as housing quality, safety, and access to resources. Although a challenging neighborhood can affect health, the
client’s unemployment specifically relates more to economic stability than to the characteristics of their
neighborhood environment.
D. This determinant encompasses the relationships and social networks that provide support and community engagement. While unemployment can affect social interactions and community involvement, it primarily reflects economic stability rather than being a direct challenge within this context.

A. This task should not be delegated to an AP. Administering medication, especially pain medication, requires nursing assessment and judgment, including monitoring for effectiveness and potential side effects. Only licensed nurses can administer medications.
B. This task is also not suitable for delegation to an AP. Wound care, particularly for a pressure injury, requires specialized knowledge and skills to assess the wound, determine appropriate care, and evaluate for signs of infection. This should be performed by a licensed nurse.
C. This task involves patient education and reinforcement of nursing instructions, which should be conducted by a nurse. While an AP can assist with the use of the incentive spirometer, the initial teaching and reinforcement should be handled by a licensed nurse.
D. This task is appropriate for delegation to an AP. Obtaining a daily weight is a routine task that does not require nursing judgment or assessment beyond standard procedure. The AP can report the weight to the nurse, who will then assess any necessary interventions based on the results.
