Nurses can utilize genomic information in various ways, including:
Risk Assessment: Nurses can identify individuals at high risk for genetic conditions and provide appropriate counseling and screening recommendations. Patient Education: Educating patients about their genetic risks and the implications this has for their health and lifestyle choices. Personalized Treatment Plans: Collaborating with healthcare teams to develop individualized care plans based on genetic information. Pharmacogenomics: Understanding how a patient's genetic profile affects their response to medications, which helps in prescribing the right drug and dosage.
