b. maintenance of balance of the physiolog-ical systems.

A
Betty Neuman's conceptual model focuses on prevention, or prevention as intervention, as a re-sponse to stressors. Primary prevention is what a person does to prevent illness. Secondary pre-vention is what is done when an illness strikes. Tertiary prevention is the rehabilitation after an illness. Physiological system balance is often associated with Roy's theory. Inner harmony is as-sociated with Watson's theory on caring. Leininger's theory discusses culture care repatterning or restructuring.
