Reflecting on nursing theory, we remember that the four-metaparadigm concepts of nursing are: patient, health, nursing, and environment. How does public health shift our perspective on the concept of the patient and the concept of environment? Who is the patient in public health and what are we referring to when we consider the concept of environment/s (i.e. built environment, climate) in public health? How do we as health care providers incorporate these perspectives into our practice? Additionally, list three unique benefits of public health. Use these sources and at least one more peered-reviewed scholarly journal: Smith, M. (2020). Nursing Theories and Nursing Practice 5th ed. Wood, Sylvia. (2020).
