Lack of Knowledge: Many nurses may not be adequately trained in pharmacogenomics, necessitating additional education and training. Ethical Concerns: Issues related to genetic privacy and discrimination must be addressed to ensure patient trust and compliance. Cost and Accessibility: Genetic testing can be expensive and may not be covered by insurance, limiting access for some patients.
