Hi! aleena & tothepointe are both correct. If you look at the Maslow's pyramid, the two bottom parts points to physiological and top 3 portions points to psychosocial. Maslow's theory states that physiologic needs are the most basic human needs of all. Only after physiologic needs have been met can safety concerns be addressed. Only after safety concerns are met can concerns involving love & belonging be addressed, and so forth. To be more specific on tothepointe's comment regarding ABCs - Airway, Breathing, Circulation - to help you further prioritize using Maslow's. Check for a patent airway before addressing breathing. Check breathing before checking the health of the cardiovascular system. There is one caveat, there are instances where airway is not always the answer. Because sometimes it really is not a viable answer. So what to do? Always examine your choice in light of your knowledge and experience. Ask yourself, "Does this choice make sense for this client?" Allow yourself to eliminate choices - even ones that might normally take priority - if they don't make sense for a particular client's situation. Hope that helps! Cheers!
