Once an individual is exposed to stress,  the flexible line of defense will be “alarmed” to protect the normal (solid) line of defense to keep the system free from stressor reactions. However, if this individual is continuously exposed to stress and if the flexible line of defense is unable anymore to cope up with the stressors, the normal line of defense will be altered. If this happens, there will be a threat to the wall that protects the basic structure of the individual and therefore causing instability of the systems and illness develops.

Sample Situation: ,[object Object]

Using Neuman’s System Model in the above situation, the identified possible stressors that contributed to Mr. Yoso’s condition were as follows: work, personality, and attitude. Mr. Yoso is not anymore able to handle the stressors and that had caused the “breakdown” of his lines of defense. Without seeking help from his family and friends, he was not able to maintain his flexible line of defense and brought instability to his system. (The diagram on the next page shows the effect of the stress in his lines of defense and the corresponding prevention that might have or may be done to prevent illness/or complications from occurring.)
