  • Hughes, M. M. (1983). Nursing theories and emergency nursing. Journal of Emergency Nursing, 9, 95-97

  • Pelletier, I. 0. (1967). The patient's predicament and nursing function. Psychiatric Opinion, 4(1), 25-30.

  • Schmidt, J. (1972). Availability: A concept of nursing practice. American Journal of Nursing, 72, 1986-1989.
    Drawing from Orlando's concept of deliberative nursing, the author discusses how the effectiveness of a nurse-patient interaction varies with the nurse's availability. This article presents the various tools nurses use to increase their receptive availability and the various stages of problem solving in the nursing process. Through several excerpts of a nurse-patient interaction, the author illustrates the concept of availability.


  • Schmieding, N.J. (1970). Relationship of nursing to the process of chronicity. Nursing Outlook, 18, 58-62.
    Schmieding maintains that nurses must focus their attention on patients and their immediate needs for help. That focus, she claims, prevents the development of undesired outcomes of hospitalization.


  • Schmieding, N.J. (1986). Orlando's theory. In P. Winstead~Fry (Ed.), Case studies in nursing theory (pp.1-36). New York: National League for Nursing.
