Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nursing theories fundamentally revolve around four core concepts that define the profession's scope and practice. These concepts shape how nurses understand and interact with their clients. The individual receiving care is central, encompassing their physical, emotional, and social dimensions. The surroundings influencing this individual such as living conditions, sanitation, or social support play a critical role in health outcomes. The practice of nursing itself involves the actions, knowledge, and skills nurses employ to facilitate care. Finally, health represents the goal, viewed as a dynamic state of well-being rather than merely the absence of disease.

This quartet person, environment, nursing, health grounds nursing as a distinct discipline, guiding both theoretical development and practical application in diverse settings.
