Picmonic
Maslow Hierarchy of Needs is a way for nurses to understand the needs of a patient. Some needs will need to be address before other needs can be fulfilled. Example would be that a nurse needs to address a patient’s physiological needs before love and belonging. It is important to understand that Maslow’s Hierarchy is a basis for nursing care and strict adherence to the order may change with each patient.
