Nursing TheoryAshley ReidUniversity of Central FloridaENC 1102Laura MartinezOctober 01, 2012Nursing Theory After exploring genres related to the field of Nursing through a preliminary genre analysis, I continued analyzing the language and genres of my field by tracing current theories related to nurses. I gathered articles related to the improvement of patient care, advancement of technology, and symptom management. Through research I have found how patient care can be improved (Chen et. al. 2005; Nystrom 2007; Barret 2002), the advancement of technology and theory in the nursing field (Bond et.al. 2011; Im and Chang 2012; Jaarsma and Dassen 1993; Andershed and Olsson 2009) and symptom management (Brant, Beck and Miaskowski 2010; Bakan and Akyol 2008; Reishtein 2005). These sources helped me to better understand how nurses work in their field and the importance of certain factors such as nurse and patient communication. These sources have helped me prepare for what is to come for my Nursing major and also as a future nurse.Andershed B, Olsson K.
