Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy ranks human needs in a pyramid. Physiological needs (air, water) form the base, followed by safety (security), belongingness (love), and esteem (respect). Self-actualization, the peak, involves achieving one's full potential creativity, purpose once lower needs are met. Nurses apply this to prioritize care, addressing survival needs before personal growth. Self-actualization's position reflects its rarity and dependence on foundational stability, shaping holistic care plans to support patients toward this ultimate goal.
