Study Notes
Salience and Ethical Comportment
- Salience refers to a perceptual stance where certain aspects of a clinical situation are considered more or less important.
- Ethical comportment emphasizes clinical understanding and the need for new perspectives in practice.
Hermeneutics
- Hermeneutics involves interpreting meaningful human phenomena with careful and detailed attention, free from prior theoretical biases, and grounded in practical understanding.
Metaparadigm of Nursing
- Nursing is characterized as a caring relationship that fosters connection and concern, as described by Dr. Benner.
- Caring allows for the exchange of help, forming the foundation of nursing practice.

- Benner and Wrubel define a person as a self-interpreting being, shaped through life experiences rather than predefined identities.
- Knowledge is often implicit and can be understood through shared language and cultural contexts to be consensually validated by participants.
