Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs outlines 5 levels of human needs: 1) Basic physiological needs like food, water, shelter; 2) Safety and security needs to prevent injury; 3) Love and belonging through supportive relationships; 4) Esteem through acceptance and achievement; 5) Self-actualization through empowerment and reaching one's potential. The planning stage of nursing care formulates patient-specific goals based on guidelines to ensure a positive outcome. Care plans provide personalized care tailored to a patient's unique needs and enhance communication across healthcare. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.
