Establishing Priorities

I. Prioritizing

  • decisions of which needs or problems require immediate attention or action and which ones could be delayed until a later time since they are not urgent
  • needs that are life-threatening or could result in harm to the client if left untreated are high priorities
  • Actual problems/needs have higher priority than potential problems/needs
  • Problems/needs identified by client are of a higher priority
  • Principles of Maslow or the ABCs may guide decisions
  • Mutual decision-making for priorities may be made with the client based on the client's needs, desires and safety
