Question 1 of 5
According to Maslow, experiencing one's potential fulfills which need?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Self-actualization fulfills experiencing potential per Maslow, not love , physical security , or safety . PSWs aid this e.g., supporting a talent after basics like safety are secure. Confusing it with lower needs risks misprioritizing; potential isn't about belonging or protection. A client mastering a skill exemplifies this, boosting purpose. PSWs rarely target it directly but enable it by meeting prior needs, ensuring clients reach higher fulfillment, a subtle but critical distinction in applying Maslow's hierarchy to care.
Question 2 of 5
