What is the primary goal of tertiary intervention?

A) A framework for decision-making:
A code of ethics provides a framework that guides professionals in making ethical decisions. It offers principles and standards to help individuals navigate complex ethical dilemmas in their practice.

B) A collection of static rules:
While a code of ethics does contain specific rules and guidelines, it's not merely a static collection of rules. It includes broader ethical principles and values that professionals are expected to uphold.

C) A group of legally binding values:
While the principles in a code of ethics are important and often supported by laws and regulations, the code itself is not a set of legally binding rules. Violating the code might have professional consequences but doesn't necessarily result in legal penalties.

D) The "ball and chain" of the profession:
This phrase is not an accurate or respectful description of a code of ethics. A code of ethics is a professional responsibility and helps maintain high standards of practice and ethical conduct.

Use of systems theory.
Neuman's Health-Care Systems Model is based on the principles of systems theory. The model views individuals as open systems interacting with their environment. Health, illness, and wellness are influenced by dynamic interactions between the client and environmental stressors. This systems-based approach helps nurses understand the holistic nature of clients and their responses to stressors.

Behavior is the key to preventing illness.
This statement does not accurately represent Neuman's Health-Care Systems Model. While behavior and lifestyle choices can influence health, Neuman's model primarily emphasizes the dynamic interactions between individuals and their environment, considering stressors and their impact on the client's stability and well-being.

Nurse-centered rather than client-centered.
Neuman's model is client-centered. It focuses on the client's responses to environmental stressors and aims to assist clients in maintaining their optimal wellness within the context of their environment. It is not nurse-centered; instead, it empowers clients to actively participate in their own care.

Alteration of environmental stressors leads to health.
While addressing environmental stressors is a component of Neuman's model, it does not directly state that altering these stressors leads to health. The model emphasizes understanding the client's response to stressors and helping them achieve stability despite these stressors.
