question

describe the physiological response to stress using the general Adaptation Syndrome (GAS). Include stages.

(1.Alarm reaction)-which alerts the bodies defenses..the initial reaction of the body --divided into 2 stages:a.)the shock phase and b.) the counter-shock phase...a.)the shock phase --stimulates sympathetic nervous system leads to increases in blood flow and heart rate, O2 intake, blood clotting, cellular metabolism, and fat mobilization....b.)the countershock phase-reverses effect of shock.

question

Purpose of a systems theory

answer

Systems theory is a way of thinking about things or a way of viewing our world in an organized manner. Systems thinking allows us to predict better what is going to happen. When we look to the whole, its parts, and relationships between parts, we can better organize our thoughts and better judge what the outcome will be.

question

Define system

answer

A system is a set of things, including their characteristics and relationships inside a boundary. Systems have structure and function. The structure is the purpose and content. Purpose gives direction to the system and content is the sum of the parts of the system. The functions of the system are the operations or processes which system parts do to attain the purpose. Critical to the understanding of the concept of systems is the dynamic quality of interrelationships between all aspects of a system and the environment. To view a system, the underlying principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts must be remembered.

question

define subsystem

answer

A system does not exist alone. Subsystems are systems within another system. For example, human beings have biological subsystems (organ systems such as circulatory, respiratory, urinary, digestive, reproductive, nervous, muscoloskeletal, integumentary and metabolic). People also have a self system (self concept and energy level) which accounts for the individual's uniqueness.

question

define suprasystem

answer

Suprasystems exist beyond the boundary of a system and interact with it. For example, a person system may part of a neighborhood, a community, a state, and so forth.

question

define Open/closed systems

answer

There are two kinds of sytems: open and closed sytems. Human beings are open systems. An open system is one that exchanges matter, energy and information with the environment. Every living organism is essentially an open system. Closed systems unlike open systems, do not interact with the environment.

question

define boundary

answer

the boundary is where the interaction between everything outside the system and the system occurs. There are differences in boundary permeability enabling the system to filter amount, rate, and flow of inputs, and outputs to control for system overload and underload.

question

define energy

answer

The ablility to do work. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be converted from one form into another or transported from one place to another.

question

define processes of sytem

answer

The four system processes are input, output, throughput and feedback

question

define input

answer

Input is matter, energy, and information which is imported into the system. It is everything outside of the system that comes in contact with it and gets past the boundary.

question

define throughput

answer

throughput is the name given to processes of what goes on in the system as a result of the input.

question

define output

answer

Output is matter, energy, or information that is exported from the system

question

define feedback

answer

Feedback is the process where output from the system comes back into the system as input. Feedback provides the system with information about its output so the system can adjust itself or make changes dictated by the feedback.

question

define Environment

answer

environment consists of all factors that affect the system and also all factors that are affected by the system. for example, consider the learning environment of a student nurse.

question

resources are inside the system. Resources are used by the system to achieve its goal/purpose. Resources are things the system can change, including time.
