, What is the primary difference between an open and closed system?
a. An open system has no boundary, and therefore there are no limits to the
inputs and outputs between an open system and the environment.
b. An open system has a semipermeable boundary and therefore will filter both
inputs and outputs when interacting with the environment.
c. A closed system has a semipermeable boundary and therefore will filter both
inputs and outputs when interacting with the environment.
d. A closed system does not have a boundary and therefore will not interact
with the
environment.
d. An open system has a semipermeable boundary and therefore will filter both
inputs and outputs when interacting with the environment
The primary characteristics used to analyze an open system include:
a. structure, purpose, and functions.
b. subsystem, target system, and supersystem.
c. boundary, attributes, and environment.
d. hierarchical, web, and hybrid
a. Structure, purpose, and functions
You have altered the menu of food items served to your patients. However, the
change has greatly expanded the number of refrigerated items needed on hand.
You need to buy a new refrigerator, but the electric circuit in the kitchen cannot
handle the extra load and needs to be upgraded at significant expense. This set
of unintended consequences down the line, produced by an initial change, is
