Co-published with the International Society of Nurses in Genetics (ISONG) Completely updated by genetics/genomics nurses for genetics/genomics nurses. The first best resource for the RN or APRN genetics/genomics nurse at any level and in any setting. Essential for all involved in this nursing practice specialty now and throughout this decade.

Their research and evidence-based practice also includes interprofessional collegiality and collaboration with other genetics/genomics professionals and other healthcare professionals to provide quality patient care.

The revised scope of genetics/genomics nursing practice-the who, what, where, when, why, and how of practice-sets the context for understanding and using the standards: the underlying assumptions, characteristics, environments and settings, education and training requirements, key issues and trends, and ethical and conceptual bases of genetics/genomics nursing.

By meeting each standard's competencies, these nurses can demonstrate compliance with that standard. A foundational volume primar
