The Role of Professional Nurses in Policy Evaluation
Two opportunities that currently exist for Registered Nurses (RNs) and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) to exist in policy review include advocating for economically and socially disadvantaged populations (Williams et al., 2018) and through engagement in political process to influence and educate legislators (Houskova, 2018). One of the key challenges impeding these opportunities is that although nurses forms the largest proportion of healthcare workers in the United States, their numbers are not reflected in national or state legislatures or on hospital boards. In 2017, the Campaign for Action noted that RN in 2014 were occupying 5% of seats on hospital boards, which was 1% less compared to 2011. There is need to improve representation of RNs and APRNs in political and legislative boards to improve the ability and impact of nurses to review and influence policy change (Houskova, 2018). Another challenge is that the social and economic determinants of health are still entrenched in the society contributing to inequalities, social injustice, shorter lives and poor health. Nurses need to participate actively in issues such as social justice, poverty, and inequalities, which are primarily outside the scope of the healthcare system. Besides, there is need to involve political leaders and other sectors in advocacy campaigns (Williams et al., 2018). Two recommended strategies for better advocacy campaigns and communicate for existence for the above opportunities include conduction of public campaigns and inclusion of the above aspects in nurse education and training curriculum.

Answer
Chirality- Isolation of Limonene from Citrus Fruits
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this experiment is two-fold: (i) to obtain Limonene from citrus fruits through steam distillation and (ii) to analyze the optical rotation and enantiomeric excess (optical purity) of the fruits using polarimetry.
Limonene belongs to a class of aromatic compounds, mainly terpenoids in composition and characterized by several isoprene repeat units (Ludwiczuk, Skalicka-Woźniak & Georgiev, 2017). These include monoterpenes which comprise 2 isoprene units, sesquiterpenes with three isoprene units, diterpenes containing 4 isoprene units and triterpenes with 6 isoprene units (Asia, Nicholas, Segui & Ballivian, 2020).
Limonene is extracted by steam distillation, as aromatics are thermally decomposable under high temperatures (Valderrama & Ruiz, 2017). Subsequently, polarimetry is deployed to determine the chirality of the limonene. Chirality is the “direction of rotation” of the substance (Telo, 2016). Additionally, chirality confirms optical activity and the presence of a chiral center, a carbon attached to four other groups (Weldegirma, 2016; Telo, 2016). Polarimetry is a necessary tool for establishing optical purity through measurement of enantiomeric excess (ee), or optical purity.
Findings from the experiment show the specific rotation to be about “half of the literature value” (Asia, Nicholas, Segui & Ballivian, 2020). Many studies associate this outcome with a high concentration of limonene in the samples being investigated. Similarly, the optical rotation of the sample was found to be 11 (Asia, Nicholas, Segui & Ballivian, 2020). The ee was found to be 11.34%, one possibility for this result could be that our sample was not pure, therefore accounting for the low percentage. A percentage of 100% means a pure enantiomer (Weldegirma, 2016).
