Who identified four central concepts that are foundational to nursing theories: person, environment, health, and nursing?

Jacqueline Fawcett
Catherine McAuley
Nola Pender
Hildegard Peplau

The correct answer is: Jacqueline Fawcett

Jacqueline Fawcett is recognized for her significant contributions to nursing theory, particularly for identifying the four central concepts foundational to nursing: person, environment, health, and nursing. Her work emphasized the importance of these concepts in developing a comprehensive nursing theory framework, aiding nurses in understanding and addressing the complexities of patient care within different environments. Fawcett's identification of these core concepts has been influential in shaping how nurses view their practice, guiding them to consider the patient (the person), the context of care (the environment), the goal of nursing (health), and the processes involved in delivering care (nursing itself). This framework provides a structured approach to understanding the interactions between these elements, which is essential for effective nursing practice and theory development.
