4. Nursing‘s metaparadigm, or worldview, distinguishes the nursing profession from other
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
disciplines and emphasizes its unique functional characteristics. The four key concepts that
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
formthe foundation for all nursing theories are
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
a. caring, compassion, health promotion, and education.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
b. respect, integrity, honesty, and advocacy. n1 n1 n1 n1
c. person, environment, health, and nursing. n1 n1 n1 n1
d. nursing, teaching, caring, and health promotion. n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
ACCURATE ANSWER:-C n1
Hypothesis:->>>Individual nursing theories represent different interpretations of the n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
phenomenonof nursing, but central constructs—person, environment, health, and nursing—are
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
found in all theories and models. They are referred to as nursing‘s metaparadigm.

5. When admitting a client to the medical-surgical unit, thenursing attendant asks the client about cultural
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
issues. Thenursing attendant is demonstrating use of the concept of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
a. person.
b. environment.
c. health.
d. nursing.
ACCURATE ANSWER:-B n1
Hypothesis:->>>The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
determinants that influence a client‘s health perceptions and behavior. A person is defined as
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
therecipient of
n1 n1 n1
nursing care, having unique bio-psycho-social and spiritual dimensions. The word health
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
derivesfrom the word whole. Health is a multidimensional concept, having physical,
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual characteristics. The World Health
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
Organization (WHO, 1946) defines health as ―a state of complete physical, mental, social
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.‖ Nursing includes the promotion of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
health, preventionof illness, and the care of ill, disabled, and dying people.

Hypothesis:->>>The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1

nursing constructs. The word health derives from the word whole. Health is a
