Dunn believes that an individual's state of health should be evaluated in the context of the person's environment. This approach illustrates that:
1) An unhealthy physical environment, characterized by poor living conditions, always has a negative effect on an individual's health.
2) Adequate income, food, and shelter create a healthful environment and always improve physical health status.
3) Physical environment, family, and social support may help or hinder the health status of an individual.
4) The environment that should always be assessed is the client's immediate surroundings; extended boundaries do not apply in an ill state.
