Managing Genetic Information: Policies for US Nurses
Institution: American Nurses Association
FOA Number: N/A
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to address the professional dilemmas of nurses related to genetic information about patients and their families. Continuing education in genetics is not widely available for nurses, and there is currently no credentialing process for advanced levels of nursing practice in genetics. The objective of this project is to survey a national sample of practicing nurses to obtain accurate information about the ways in which nurses are currently eliciting, using, and storing genetic information about patients and their families, and to identify the ethical dilemmas that nurses face in their various roles in the identification of genetic traits, chromosomal abnormalities, and diseases with a clear genetic basis.
