Theories of nursing that are Middle-RangeTheories of nursing that are Middle-RangePlease
note that Middle Range Theories are more specific than Grand Theories that were explored
earlier in the course.Theories of nursing that are Middle-Range tend to be more specific in
focus and offer more concrete connections between Grand Nursing Theories and Nursing
Practice. The concepts of Middle-Range theories tend to be less abstract and tend to me
more verifiable through testing. These theories can often attempt to describe, explain, or
predict certain phenomenon in clinical practice.ReferenceUniversity of Wisconsin –

Assignment – Section VI Middle Range TheoriesChapter 21 – Katharine Kolcaba’s Comfort
TheoryKolcaba’s Theory of Comfort was first developed in the 1990s. It is a middle-range
theory for health practice, education, and research. This theory has the potential to place
comfort in the forefront of healthcare. According to the model, comfort is an immediate
desirable outcome of nursing care.Web Link for additional

NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do
not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so

indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10
to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers
with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over
the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space
between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument. Theories of nursing that are Middle-Range
