31 Aug Describe the four metaparadigms: patient, nurse, health, and environment. Cite the sources you use.
Theories are derived from conceptual models and are comprised of concepts and propositions. The only concepts that are common to all nursing theories, in some shape or form, are patient, nurse, health, and environment. These are sometimes referred to as the basic metaparadigms of the nursing domain.
Initial Post
