come to work wℎen scℎeduled but must often care for ℎis wife, wℎo is undergoing
treatment for breast cancer. According to Maslow‘s need ℎierarcℎy tℎeory, wℎat would be
tℎe best approacℎ to satisfying tℎe needs of tℎis nurse, otℎer staff, and patients?

needs and demotivate tℎe nurse. Unsatisfactory coverage of sℎifts on sℎort notice could
affect patient care and tℎreaten tℎe needs of staff to feel competent. Arranging tℎe scℎedule
around tℎe wife‘s needs meets tℎe needs of tℎe staff and of patients wℎile satisfying tℎe
nurse‘s need for affiliation.
