Description

The purpose of this book is to improve the genomic competency of nurses prepared at the graduate level. The more informed graduate level nurses are about the rapidly evolving field of genomics, the more likely they are to apply it at the point of care, and the more prepared they will be to engage in conversations about how, when and where genomic technologies should be used in healthcare systems. Abstract: Designed as both a nursing reference and course text, this book presents genetics and genomic essentials specifically for graduate-level nurses. Preliminary chapters cover the basics of genetics, risk assessment and genetic testing. Read more...
