Is it time to rethink our one-size-fits-all approach to nitrate toxicity thresholds in forages?

Annual forages provide a valuable grazing resource for cattle producers; however, annuals are prone to accumulating nitrate and have the potential to cause nitrate toxicity. Although these forages pose a risk of containing high nitrate concentrations, they can be a high-quality feed source. Understanding the factors that affect the potential for toxicity when using these forages is important to help nutritionists and producers make management decisions.

Helping Students Process a Simulated Death Experience: Integration of an NLN ACE.S Evolving Case Study and the ELNEC Curriculum.

The nursing literature supports the need for end-of-life (EOL) education, but the ability to provide quality clinical experience in this area is limited by the availability of patients and nursing instructors' and preceptors' comfort and expertise in teaching EOL care. Clinical simulation allows faculty to provide the same quality EOL experience to all students. This article discusses an effective teaching strategy integrating End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium core content with National League for Nursing ACE.
