The personality structures of id, ego and supergo were described by

A. Assist the client in addressing a specific problem: While Maslow’s hierarchy can help identify underlying needs that may contribute to a specific problem, it is not primarily used for addressing specific problems directly. Instead, it provides a framework for understanding the broader context of a client’s needs.
B. Change a client's behavior: Maslow’s hierarchy is not specifically designed to change behavior. It is more about understanding the different levels of needs that motivate behavior. Behavior change might be a result of addressing these needs, but it is not the primary purpose of the hierarchy.
C. Establish a therapeutic relationship: Understanding a client’s needs according to Maslow’s hierarchy can help build rapport and trust, which are essential for a therapeutic relationship. However, the primary use of the hierarchy is not to establish relationships but to understand and prioritize needs.
D. Prioritize care: This is the most accurate use of Maslow’s hierarchy. It helps nurses prioritize care by addressing the most fundamental needs first (such as physiological and safety needs) before moving on to higher-level needs (such as love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization). This ensures that the most critical needs are met first, which is essential in a healthcare setting.

A. "If you don't participate in your care, you will not get better." This statement is not therapeutic as it may be perceived as judgmental or coercive. It could further discourage the client, especially if they are struggling with motivation due to depression.
B. "You can remain in bed until you feel well enough to join the group." While this response shows empathy, it might inadvertently reinforce the client's avoidance behavior and contribute to further isolation. It is generally more beneficial to encourage gradual participation rather than allowing complete withdrawal.
C. "I will assist you in getting out of bed and getting dressed." This option is appropriate because it offers support and encouragement in a gentle, non-coercive manner. Assisting the client in small steps can help them overcome inertia and begin to participate more actively in their care.
D. "The unit rules state that clients may not remain in bed." This approach is likely to be perceived as rigid and punitive. It does not address the client’s emotional state or offer support, which is crucial for someone struggling with depression.
