Abstract

New genetic discoveries are revolutionizing medical approaches to diagnosis, management, and treatment of disease. Because of these changes, nurses need to know basic genetic principles and apply them to clinical nursing practice. This article describes basic genetics and how nurses can incorporate a genetic focus into clinical practice, specifically family history assessment. Ethical principles of genetic healthcare also are discussed.
