Stem cell research is significant in nursing for several reasons:
1. Patient Care: Nurses need to be well-versed in the latest treatments and therapies, including those involving stem cells. This knowledge can improve patient outcomes and provide better care. 2. Education: Nurses often educate patients and their families about treatment options, including the benefits and risks of stem cell therapies. 3. Ethical Considerations: Stem cell research raises ethical questions, particularly concerning embryonic stem cells. Nurses must navigate these issues while advocating for their patients.
