Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Planning in the nursing process involves setting priorities to address patient needs effectively. Maslow's hierarchy of human needs provides a framework, ranking needs from physiological (e.g., breathing, food) to self-actualization. Nurses use this to prioritize life-sustaining needs first, such as oxygen or hydration, before addressing higher-level needs like esteem. The information processing model relates to cognitive psychology, not nursing priorities. Interpersonal theory focuses on nurse-patient relationships, not prioritization. The stages of illness model describes disease progression, not care planning. Maslow's structured approach ensures critical needs are met first, aligning with patient safety and recovery goals.
