Description:
Genetics/genomics nursing is specialized nursing practice and care that focuses on the actual and potential impact of genetic/genomic influences on health. Genetics/genomics nurses educate clients and families on genetic/genomic influences that might impact their health, and intervene with the goals of optimizing health, reducing health risks, treating disease, and promoting wellness. To do so, the research and evidence-based practice of genetics/genomics nursing includes interprofessional collegiality and collaboration with genetics/genomics professionals and other healthcare professionals to provide quality patient care.
