Delivers complex information in an easy-to-read, step-by-step
format. The genomic era encompasses the entire spectrum of DNA -
all of the genes, and the interaction and inter-relationship of
genes (genome) to the environment. Rapidly changing research has
led to numerous advances in genetic testing, diagnosis, and
treatments, and it is essential that APRNs be able to integrate
genetic risk assessment into clinical care. This quick reference
delivers complex information in an easy-to-read, step-by-step
format with bitesize info boxes and bulleted information to provide
the tools necessary to understand genetics/genomics and identify
""red flags"" that can appear in patient assessments. In an age of
personalized and precision medicine, genetic risk assessment has
never been more important. Genetics and Genomics in Nursing begins
with an overview of genetics and the science behind inheritance.
Chapters then break down the processes that make up risk
assessment, and walk the reader through data collection and review,
identification and calculation of risk, and patient communication.
Finally, the last section of this text discusses special
populations and key facts nurses need to know about their risk
assessment. Key Features: Provides a clear introduction to a
complex topic Describes important elements of the genomic risk
assessment process for use in clinical settings when evaluating
patients Illustrates how to develop a three-generation pedigree
Applies commonly-used standardized pedigree symbols and familial
patterns to aid in risk interpretation Discusses the challenges and
limitations of pedigree interpretation Explains common concepts and
includes helpful genomic resources Incorporates genomic risk
assessment into patient evaluation
