End-of-Life Education in a Prelicensure Nursing Program.

The demand for palliative and end-of-life nursing is increasing with the aging US population. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing published recommendations for incorporating palliative and end-of-life care across nursing curriculum to prepare the future workforce. However, recommendations regarding teaching end-of-life content are limited.

Identification and Analysis of Electrochemical Instrumentation Limitations through the Study of Platinum Surface Oxide Formation and Reduction.

Anodic polarization of Pt electrodes in aqueous H2SO4 leads to the formation of a surface oxide (PtO). Herein, the surface oxide growth is accomplished using three different approaches: (i) chronoamperometry (CA); (ii) chronocoulometry (CC); and (iii) a combination of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and CA. The PtO reduction is accomplished potentiodynamically using voltammetry.
