Concepts in Nursing Theories
Discussion Question Directions: In your discussion question response, provide a substantive response that illustrates a well-reasoned and thoughtful response; is factually correct with relevant scholarly citations, Task: 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. Discuss how the four metaparadigms effect the patient, nurse, health and environment. Identify two additional concepts that are relevant to your personal practice of nursing, explain how they relate to your practice and why they are important to your practice.
