Genetics and Genomics for Nursing

This work offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles of genetics and genomics, specifically tailored for nursing professionals. Through clear explanations and relevant case studies, the authors illuminate how genetic information can impact patient care and outcomes.

Carole Kenner and Judith Lewis emphasize the critical role nurses play in integrating genetic knowledge into clinical practice. Their engaging approach not only equips nurses with the necessary tools to understand complex genetic concepts but also encourages them to advocate for patients, address ethical considerations, and navigate the evolving landscape of healthcare genetics. This resource fosters a better understanding of genetic influences on health, empowering nurses to provide informed and compassionate care.
