B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Neuman's system theory is concerned with the whole rather than segregating its members into two groups.
B Correct. Neuman's system theory is consistent with a family systems approach, describing the family as the recipient of nursing care. The family is described as an appropriate target for both assessment and nursing interventions. The way each member expresses self influences the whole and creates the basic structure of the family. The major goal of the nurse is to keep the structure stable within its environment.
C Incorrect. Neuman's system theory is focused on keeping the family structure stable within its environment.
D Incorrect. Neuman's system theory does not rely upon improving communication between the family and society.
