Genetics: challenges for nursing education.
Rapid development of new knowledge in genetics has not been matched by increased inclusion of genetics content in nursing education or nursing research. Genetics is viewed as tangential to nursing, a useful but not necessary component of nursing knowledge. A paradigm shift to a view of genetics as a science basic to the practice of nursing is proposed. Methods to achieve this shift are presented.
