Providing Genetic Nursing Care to Patients With Chronic Illnesses
Disease prevention can easily be considered the best path toward a cure, but there are some diseases to which many people are hereditarily more susceptible. Chronic health problems, many of which have yet to be cured, show up in hospitals and clinics frequently.
As medical research continues to actively search for cures and better treatment options, how can you as a nurse provide the best care possible for your patients? Do you know the risks related to misdiagnosis for a patient who suffers from a chronic disease? What can a nurse do to help the patient live comfortably with chronic diseases?
You will explore strategies for providing better patient care to patients with chronic health problems and explore how genetics and genomics influence nursing practice.
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.
For this Essay, you will consider applications of various topics to genetics and genomics. Review the Resources focusing on the application of genetics and genomics to nursing.
Locate at least one scholarly journal article that discusses your subtopic.
Choose one of the following subtopics:
Pharmacogenomics and chronic illnesses
Genomics in patient assessment
Genetically competent care for those with chronic illnesses
Respond to the following:
1. Identify your subtopic and provide a brief summary of your journal article on how this topic relates to nursing practice.
2. What is the nurse's role in providing care in relation to your subtopic and the overarching theme of advocacy?
3. What ethical implications should be considered with regard to genetics and genomics for nursing practice? Why?
4. Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.
