BASIC
ASSUMPTIONS
1. Each client system is unique, a composite of
factors and characteristics within a given range
of responses contained within a basic structure.
I am unique

2. Many known, unknown and universal
stressors exist. Each differ in its potential
for disturbing a clients usual stability level
or normal Line of Defense.

ASSUMPTIONS
3. Stressors both universal and known; some
are unique to the client. They have potential
to disturb equilibrium, thus causing a change
in priority of needs at any given moment.

4. Man is a composite of the interrelationship of
the four variables ( biological, psychological,
socio-cultural and developmental) which are at
all times present.

ASSUMPTIONS
5. Each client/ client system has evolved a normal
range of responses to the environment that is
referred to as a normal Line of Defense. The
normal Line of Defense can be used as a standard
from which to measure health deviation.

BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
7. When the flexible Line of Defense is no longer
capable of protecting the client/ client system,
against an environmental stressor, the stressor
breaks through the normal Line of Defense.

BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
8.Primary prevention relates to general
knowledge applied to clients assessment
to identify stressors before they occur.
9.Secondary prevention relates to
symptomatology. These are
interventions generally initiated after an
encounter with a stressor.
10.Tertiary prevention relates to the
adaptive process, as reconstitution
begins and moves back towards primary
prevention. These are the interventions
initiated after treatment.
