During those years, genetic testing was used to confirm a diagnosis of a genetic condition and to screen newborns for conditions such as phenylketonuria (PKU) so that early treatments and interventions could be administered (National Institutes of Health, 2009).

List two new ways that genetic testing is being used in clinical practice. The recognition that nurses did not have adequate knowledge of genetics to practice genetics health care was first documented in the nursing literature of 1979 (Cohen, 1979). To date, more than 49 nursing organizations have endorsed the Essentials of Genetic and Genomic Nursing (Consensus Panel, 2008). 3.9. Not necessarily. 6.8.

References, Chapter 18. We realized that these genetic discoveries would have a significant impact on oncology nursing practice and that nurses, including ourselves, were not prepared for this revolution in health care.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA)—A chemical similar to a single strand of DNA. 17.4. Scientific research and discoveries from the 1950s through the 1980s helped scientists to develop genetic tests for genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. %PDF-1.7 %���� Nurse Case Manager, Breast Care Center, National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, After I completed my patient’s pedigree, I asked to speak with the friend. Nurses practicing in neonatal and pediatric settings were therefore the first nurses to become informed about and involved with genetics in their practice with the advent of genetic testing for newborns and pediatric patients and their families. Retrieved from www.genome.gov/19016903; and National Human Genome Research Institute [2009f]. Implications for Educators, Researchers, and Administrators (Consensus Panel, 2008, p. 7) Introduction Preliminary chapters cover the basics of genetics, risk assessment and genetic testing. 11.16. (Data from National Human Genome Research Institute [2009b]. Preamble 1 P REAMBLE Genomics is a central science for all nursing practice because essen-tially all diseases and conditions have a genetic or genomic compo-nent. 11.32. To date, more than 49 nursing organizations have endorsed the Essentials of Genetic and Genomic Nursing (Consensus Panel, 2008). Genetics and genomics educational and clinical resources are provided to support the needs of all nurses wanting to learn more about and provide competent genomic health care. But were those nurses prepared with genetics knowledge so that they could provide competent and informed patient care? Hematologic Neoplasms Conclusions References, Chapter 11.

We have since become “joined at the hip” and continue to work to move genetics and genomics into all nursing education and practice. Knowledge of the human genome has opened new doors to understanding the role of genes in health and disease. 4.10. Accreditation programs are encouraged to evaluate whether the curriculum they are creating is designed to meet the essential nursing core genetic and genomic competencies. 15.8. In October 2006, we convened the group of endorsing organizations and some key stakeholders to develop a 5-year, multifaceted strategic implementation plan for the integration of the genetics and genomics competencies into nursing curricula, NCLEX, specialty certifications, continuing education, and accreditation, a process that involves collaboration among nursing and academic organizations and federal agencies both nationally and internationally. She did not want to take the focus off my patient, but I was able to reassure her that while the patient met with our social worker, I could spend a few minutes with her. (Jenkins, 2007). References, Chapter 16. 6.3. References 62, Chapter 3. It was not until the late 1800s that scientists first began to discover the basic genetic structures—chromosomes—the threadlike structures inside of cells that contain genes. Summary The human genome was completely mapped and sequenced in 2003. Coronary Artery Disease (or Coronary Heart Disease) 8.5. Different alleles create variation in inherited characteristics such as hair color or blood type. Because essentially all diseases and conditions have a genetic or genomic component, options for care for all persons will increasingly include genetic and genomic information along the pathways of prevention, screening, diagnostics, prognostics, selection of treatment, and monitoring of treatment effectiveness.

I encouraged her to take the pedigree to her oncologist, whom she was scheduled to see that week for follow-up. Since then, we have collaborated to create the core competencies in cancer genetics for advanced practice nurses, to initiate a nursing genetics and ethics study, and to publish books and articles on these topics. Nurses at all levels and in all areas of practice will soon be taking an active role in risk assessment for genetic conditions and disorders, explaining genetic risk and genetic testing, and supporting informed health decisions and opportunities for early intervention (, In recognition of the need for all nurses to become proficient in incorporating genetics and genomics into their practice, nursing leaders from clinical, research, and academic settings came together to create “the minimum basis by which to prepare the nursing workforce to deliver competent genetic- and genomic-focused nursing care” (Consensus Panel, 2008, p. 1). In recognition of the implications of genomic health care for nurses, the Essentials of Genetic and Genomic Nursing: Competencies, Curricula Guideline, and Outcome Indicators (Consensus Panel on Genetic/Genomic Nursing Competencies, 2008) was published.
