A client system in interaction with the environment delineates the domain of nursing concerns.”

- environment
- health
- nursing
- open system
- client variables
- flexible line of defense
- normal line of defense
- lines of resistance
viewed as an open system that interacts with both internal and external environment forces or stressors. The human is in constant change, moving toward a
dynamic state of system stability or toward illness of varying degrees.

a vital arena that is germane to the system and its function. This may be viewed as all factors that affect and are affected by the system.
environment
three relevant environments in the neuman systems model
- internal
- external
- created
exists within the client system. All forces and interactive influences that are solely within boundaries of the client system make up this environment.
internal environment
this environment exists outside the client system.
external environment
this environment is unconsciously developed and is used by the client to support protective coping.
created environment
defined as the condition or degree of system stability and is viewed as a continuum from wellness to illness.
