NURS 4006 Week 2: Discussion PROVIDING GENETIC NURSING CARE TO PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC ILLNESSES

PROVIDING GENETIC NURSING CARE TO PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC ILLNESSES

There are several chronic health problems with genetic/genomic components that plague the population. These health problems are very difficult and challenging diseases to manage. Evidenced-based nursing practice must include genetic and genomic information when planning patient care. Nurses, through their knowledge and support, play an important role in positive patient outcomes when managing the challenges of these genetically linked diseases.
