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.
