Care plan help please

you are correct. priority sequencing of your diagnoses are:

1. ineffective airway clearance
   
2. deficient fluid volume

here is a listing of maslow's hierarchy of needs along with a weblink to a page about it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs

1. physiological needs (in the following order)
   • the need for oxygen and to breathe [the brain gets top priority for oxygen, then the oxgenation of the heart followed by oxygenation of the lung tissue itself, breathing problems come next, then heart and circulation problems--this is based upon how fast these organs die or fail based upon the lack of oxygen and their function.]
     
   • the need for food and water
     
   • the need to eliminate and dispose of bodily wastes
     
   • the need to control body temperature
     
   • the need to move
     
   • the need for rest
     
   • the need for comfort

[*]safety and security needs (in the following order)

• safety from physiological threat
  
• safety from psychological threat
  
• protection
  
• continuity
  
• stability
  
• lack of danger

[*]love and belonging needs

• affiliation
  
• affection
  
• intimacy
  
• support
  
• reassurance

[*]self-esteem needs

• sense of self-worth
  
• self-respect
  
• independence
  
• dignity
  
• privacy
  
• self-reliance

[*]self-actualization

• recognition and realization of potential
  
• growth
  
• health
  
• autonomy

ABC's, dude

ABCs are great, but what happens when you have safety, self-esteem and teaching diagnoses as well?

Safety comes first on Maslow's Hierarchy.

Edit: Wait, I just realised who posted that so apparently I'm missing something...?

I think so. Better look at the pyramid again.
