¶ … Applying Watson's Nursing Theory to Assess Patient Perceptions of Being Cared for in a Multicultural Environment" describes the validness and authentication of the nursing theory of care by Jean Watson. She was of the view that the best which a nurse can give to the patient is care as humans are naturally gifted with it and it is irrespective of ethnical, racial, cultural or social basis. The article describes the implications of this theory in such environment where the nurses and their patients have ethnical and cultural difference and they do not even understand each other's language. It is a case study designed to explore Saudi patient's perceptions of important caring behaviors by staff nurses. It was concluded by the data obtained that the patients rated overall caring behaviors as most important irrespective of their cultural differences with the caregiver. Hence Watson's theory was proved in a multicultural environment, but it is recommended that nurses should be provided with the assistance in foreign language so that they can better take care of their patients (Wakifa et.al 2009).
The article "Virginia Henderson's principles and practice of nursing applied to organ donation after brain death" describes about the Need theory of Nursing presented by Virginia Henderson. She argued that main needs of humans should be addressed in nursing practice as a central focus and nurses should take care of the patients whole-heartedly and devotedly. Nurses should be provided with more knowledge and techniques so that they can better understand and fulfill the needs...

But for this purpose, they should be specialized in these areas. This concept is as according to Henderson's theory that the donation process will contribute significantly to transferring the gift of life from one human being to another via nurses (Nicely 2011).
The article "Therapeutic modulation of the psycho-neuroimmune system by medical acupuncture creates enhanced feelings of well being" described Martha Roger's theory of Science of Unitary Human Beings. The theory relates the impact of environment over the nursing practices that nurses should be creative enough to tackle with the modern techniques in medical science and should always look beyond the scope. Hence nursing's main focus should be environment rather than health care. The article describes changes in psychneuroimmune system with respect to surroundings by reviwing worldwide literature and it was observed that medical acupuncture is closely related to Roger's conceptual model as these advanced techniques can assist in well being of a pateint (Allan 2006).
On the whole, the three articles revovle around the same concept, i.e., nurses should be provided guidance and assistance in new emerging technoligies and should be prepared according to the scenario in which they are going to work. By doing so, they can do their job in a better and explicit way, i.e., they can take care of the patient as required, they…
