AI Article Synopsis

  • The Consensus Model for Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Regulation outlines the four main roles in advanced practice nursing and emphasizes the importance of gerontology in graduate nursing programs.
  • The revision of these programs will require a restructuring to better incorporate content focused on the geriatric population, addressing the growing demand for skilled nursing in this area.
  • This article aims to provide a framework for developing impactful learning outcomes, ensuring that advanced practice programs effectively integrate gerontologic competencies through systematic evaluation and improvement processes.

Article Abstract

The implementation of the Consensus Model for Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Regulation has defined the model for advanced practice within the four recognized advanced practice nursing roles. The focus of graduate nursing program focus for care of the adult population has been broadened to include gerontology. The change toward increasing graduate program breadth and focus to a lifespan adult/gerontology population will result in the need for analysis and restructuring of advanced practice programs in order to incorporate gerontologic content. The purpose of this article is to describe a process for developing or revitalizing meaningful learning outcomes as an integral component in program revision and evaluation for advanced practice programs incorporating gerontologic content. Learning outcomes will be included with examples and definitions from the beginning basis of role-specific selected adult gerontology competencies through data collection and analysis for program improvement.

Two-dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) have garnered significant attention in the field of materials science due to their remarkable electronic and optoelectronic properties, including high carrier mobility and tunable band gaps. Despite the extensive research on various TMDs, there remains a notable gap in understanding the synthesis techniques and their implications for the practical application of monolayer tungsten disulfide (WS2) in optoelectronic devices. This gap is critical, as the successful integration of WS2 into commercial technologies hinges on the development of reliable synthesis methods that ensure high quality and uniformity of the material.

Superhydrophobic fabrics suffer from being commonly penetrated by moisture after laundering, seriously deteriorating their water repellency after air drying. Numerous researchers have successfully recovered superhydrophobicity by drying in fluid ovens; however, high energy consumption and equipment dependence limit practical applications. Herein, the superhydrophobic photothermal self-healing cotton fabric (SPS cotton fabric) was fabricated by depositing a composite layer of cellulose nanocrystal-MXene (C-MXene) and polyacrylate (PA) coatings on the cotton cloth.

Sticker-type transparent antireflective film (STAF) is applied to perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to reduce the reflection and improve the light-trapping ability of PSCs. However, the development of STAF is hindered by many factors, such as expensive materials, low actual service life, unsatisfactory antireflective effect, and a lack of research on stability. This work proposes an ultraviolet (UV)-resistant enhanced sticker-type nanostructure acrylic resin antireflective film (SNAAF), which is applied to the incident surface of PSCs.
