hmmm... Is there supposed to be a nursing diagnosis for each level? In my opinion, four of the diagnoses provided belong in the same level. Can you expand on the assignment and/or share how you and your group members came up with the options listed?

no specifics on each level, just these in relation to importance

Think Maslows and ABC's

1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep.2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear.
3. Love and belongingness needs - friendship, intimacy, affection and love, - from work group, family, friends, romantic relationships.
4. Esteem needs - achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, self-respect, respect from others.
5. Self-Actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.

Now which of these can pose the largest health risk to your patient. What can make them the sickest the fastest.

Impaired skin integrity
impaired physical mobility
