Wellington-Smith: There is no widely known nursing theorist by this name, making it the correct answer for this question.

A) Restore the client's system to an optimal state of balance:
This statement is not accurate for tertiary intervention. Tertiary intervention primarily focuses on managing and preventing complications or disabilities resulting from an illness or condition. It does not necessarily aim to restore the client's system to an optimal state of balance, as that is more aligned with primary and secondary prevention strategies.

B) Treating symptoms that stressors have already produced:
This statement is correct. Tertiary intervention aims to address and manage the symptoms, disabilities, or complications that have resulted from stressors or illnesses. It focuses on providing appropriate treatments, rehabilitation, and support to improve the client's quality of life and prevent further complications.

C) Preventing symptoms caused by environmental stressors:
This statement is not accurate for tertiary intervention. Tertiary intervention deals with managing existing symptoms or complications rather than preventing new symptoms caused by environmental stressors.

D) Teaching cultural perspectives of environmental stressors:
This statement is not directly related to tertiary intervention. Tertiary intervention focuses on providing medical treatments, therapies, and support to individuals with existing conditions, rather than teaching cultural perspectives.
