Nursing Metaparadigm

The Nursing Metaparadigm is a framework that outlines four essential concepts guiding nursing practice: person (the patient receiving care), environment (the setting where care occurs), health (the patient's well-being), and nursing (the actions and responsibilities of nurses). It helps define what nursing is and how nurses support patients in maintaining or improving health within various environments. Essentially, it provides a structured way to understand and organize the core aspects of nursing care, ensuring holistic and patient-centered support.
