Q

“A unique, open-system-based perspective that provides a unifying focus for approaching a wide range of concerns. A system acts as a boundary for a single client, a group, or even a number of groups; it can also be defined as a social issue. A client system in interaction with the environment delineates the domain of nursing concerns.”

Q

define the appropriate action in situations that are stress-related or in relation to possible reactions of the client or client system to stressors. Nursing interventions are aimed at helping the system adapt or adjust and to retain, restore, or maintain some degree of stability between and among the client system variables and environmental stressors with a focus on conserving energy.

32
Q

any phenomenon that might penetrate both the flexible and normal lines of defense, resulting in either a positive or negative outcome.

A

stressors

33
Q

___________ stressors are those that occur within the client system boundary and correlate with the internal environment.

A

intrapersonal

34
Q

____________ stressors occur outside the client system boundary, are proximal to the system, and have an impact on the system.

A

35
Q

____________ stressors also occur outside the client system boundaries but are at a greater distance from the system that are interpersonal stressors. An example is social policy.

A

extrapersonal

36
Q

state of balance or harmony requiring energy exchanges as the client adequately copes with stressors to retain, attain, or maintain an optimal level of health
thus preserving system integrity.

37
Q

Stability - state of balance or harmony requiring energy exchanges as the client adequately copes with stressors to ______, _______, or ______ an optimal level of health
thus preserving system integrity.

A

retain, attain maintain

normal

40
Q

process of energy depletion and disorganization moving the system toward illness or possible death.

A

41
Q

A process of energy conservation that increases organization and complexity, moving the system toward stability or a higher degree of wellness.
