1. 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.
ANS: B
With an open system the boundary is semipermeable, thereby controlling what will be
accepted as input and what will be permitted to leave the system.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand REF: p. 15
2. 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.
ANS: A
Using these three characteristics, one can determine why the system exists, what functions it
performs to achieve its purpose, and how it is structured to achieve its purpose.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remember REF: p. 16
3. 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 called:
a. dynamic homeostasis.
b. semi-planned change.
c. negentropy.
d. reverberation.
ANS: D
Change within any part of a system will be reflected across the total system through a process
termed reverberation. Reverberation can be intended or unintended consequences of change.
