Genetic research and knowledge in the discipline of nursing.
Nursing exists in a world in which an evidence-base for professional practice is required. The nursing knowledge base specific to genetics and health is currently not sufficient to support the expansion of nursing educational content and practice that is needed for health care of individual humans or families. Coordinated research, education, and clinical development is needed for nursing to meet its societal mandate for health care in response to the genetic revolution.
