The Four Metaparadigms of Nursing Patient Care The first concept that defines the metaparadigm of nursing is the patient, also known as human beings or people (Butts, 2015) . This concept is the reason for nursing. Individuals as a whole experience wellness and illness at some point in their lives and seek medical care. Nursing is defined as providing care to individuals and assisting them in meeting their health care needs. The patient should be the center of all care provided. Every patient is different and requires personalized care. Health care should focus specifically on individual needs and incorporate the patient's thoughts and ideas. Each patient must be at the center of their own care and educated by nurses to be proactive. Taleghani, Alimohammadi, Mohammadi, and Akbarian (2013) define nurses as individuals who care for and meet the needs of individuals. Indeed, nurses care for individuals of different ages, with specific needs, requiring them not only to provide care, but to provide individualized care. Rahim (2013), reports Nightingale's definition of a nurse as a person who recognizes patients in need and helps them achieve the desired state of health. Therefore, nurses must be multifaceted people with adequate clinical education and training. Through his many acts of care, the nurse must be diverse and knowledgeable about various cultures, clinically adept and knowledgeable about the most current scientific research. They can act as a mentor, educator, confidant, support system, and competent clinical individual whenever needed (Taleghani et al., 2013). A nurse encompasses all of these qualities and works in a variety of settings in collaboration with other healthcare professionals to promote health and well-being and improve people's quality of life. An example of this includes emergency room nursing. Here nurses are individuals trained to provide medical care to individuals of different ages with different illnesses. They also need to collaborate with many interdisciplinary teams to drive the best possible outcome for them
