This research study reflects an important topic for the practice of nursing and nursing education. The descriptive design utilized clear sampling methods. Clear research questions were identified; however, other data analysis methods may have been more appropriate. Recommendations to increase advance directive content in educational programs should be preceded by an investigation of knowledge retention and other factors impacting staff nurses' comfort in working with advance directives in the clinical setting.

Capsid Integrity qPCR (CI-qPCR) assays offer a promising alternative to cell culture-based infectivity assays for assessing pathogenic human virus viability in wastewater. This study compared three CI-qPCR methods: two novel (Crosslinker, TruTiter) and one established (PMAxx dye). These methods were evaluated on heat-inactivated and non-heat-inactivated 'live' viruses spiked into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and wastewater, as well as on viruses naturally present in wastewater samples.
