Maslow

Where does anemia go in Maslow charting and why?

I have a good idea, but curious as to where you think it would go. Any ideas?

I think it would be your basic physiological needs. When a person is anemic they are not getting enough RBC's to carry hemoglobin,which we all know is VERY important with transporting oxygen to tissues throughout the body.Oxygen of course is the #1 physiological need.Without Oxygen you cant do anything:)
