What major phenomena of concern to nursing are presented? These phenomena may include but are not limited to human beings, environment, health, interpersonal relations, caring, goal attainment, adaptation, and energy fields. Current literature in nursing theory suggests the presence of more than the “original” four metaparadigm concepts of man, health, environment, and nursing. A theory need not address all of the major phenomenon of concern to nursing, but for the purpose of critique it is important to identify those phenomena that are addressed by the theory.
