Which of the following statements is correct about Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

Back to Exams

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy of needs outlines a progression from basic physiological needs to higher psychological needs. Option C accurately reflects that two levels (physiological and safety) often necessitate physical interventions, while the remaining four levels (belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization) primarily involve psychosocial support.

Option A is incorrect as psychosocial interventions are not universally applicable across all levels. Option B misrepresents the hierarchy by suggesting physical interventions are relevant to all needs, which is not the case. Option D overstates the need for physical intervention, miscategorizing the levels that require psychosocial support.
