The Systems Developmental-Stress Model provides the framework for assessing individuals, families, groups and communities. The biological, interpersonal, intrapersonal, non-human environmental and socio-cultural subsystems are ways in which assessment of clients at different developmental stages from conception through elderly along the health-illness continuum with increased emphasis on deviations from health will be considered. The Nursing Process is the method by which primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention will be promoted in individuals, families, groups and communities. Public Health nursing principles will be emphasized along with an introduction to the community as a system.
