They were written to help a nurse take the correct action when necessary and choose the most appropriate path before providing patient care. The seven settings were as follows: Maslow's Pyramid of Needs, which states that there are five vital components in a person's survival pyramid. In this model, the base of the pyramid, i.e. physiological needs (oxygen, nutrition and more), is the most important factor for a person's survival. The other four components of the pyramid are safety and security; being the second most important need, love and belonging, self-esteem, and the first and least important is self-realization, which is hardly achieved by a person in his life. The nursing process was the second prioritization framework revised, which provides five guiding steps for the nurse to plan patient-centered care. ABC assessment was the third point discussed. This setting is useful when evaluating situations where the client's airway, breathing, and circulation are obstructed. Additionally, this unit reviewed safety and risk reduction, less restrictive and less invasive priority settings, survival potential, and acute/urgent/unstable versus chronic/non-urgent/stable outcomes. A nurse must assess the client's needs and may then combine more than one of these prioritization frameworks in order to design a specific plan and possibly save someone.
