4. Nursing‘s metaparadigm, or worldview, distinguishes the nursing profession from other
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
disciplines and emphasizes its unique functional characteristics. The four key concepts that
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
formthe foundation for all nursing theories are
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
a. caring, compassion, health promotion, and education. l7 l7 l7 l7 l7

found in all theories and models. They are referred to as nursing‘s metaparadigm.

l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
a. person.

ACCURATE ANSWER:-B l7
Hypothesis:->>>The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
determinants that influence a client‘s health perceptions and behavior. A person is defined as
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
therecipient of
l7 l7 l7
nursing care, having unique bio-psycho-social and spiritual dimensions. The word health
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
derivesfrom the word whole. Health is a multidimensional concept, having physical,
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual characteristics. The World Health
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
Organization (WHO, 1946) defines health as ―a state of complete physical, mental, social well-
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
