This defines nursing's scope, focusing on client care holistically. Concepts, theory, health, and environment are abstract, not a complete paradigm missing 'person' and 'nursing.'

The person, health, environment, and nursing quartet encapsulates nursing's domain, guiding practice and research comprehensively.
