Increasingly, genomic-based approaches and resources are redefining
our categorization of disease, leading to new approaches to
prevention and therapy. As nurses traditionally practice
patient-oriented care, they will undoubtedly play a key role in
both developing and applying the aspects of genomic health care.
Nursing Care in the Genomic Era: A Case Based Approach is designed
to provide nurses with up-to-date and accessible information on
this powerful new approach to understanding, preventing, and
treating disease. The framework for each chapter consists of core
competencies in genetics, interwoven with stories that highlight a
particular condition and the related biological, personal, and
psychosocial issues. The chapters then go on to address the
knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for nurses and health
professionals as recommended by the National Coalition for Health
Professional Education in Genetics (NCHPEG). The text presents the
genetic components of common diseases such as cancer, diabetes,
heart disease, and Alzheimer's, and the innovative technologies
used to detect them. Understanding genomic issues and how they
affect individuals and families is the first step for nurses hoping
to make a difference when providing nursing care in the genomic
era.
