Genomics Discussion
Introduction and Alignment
In the 4.2 assignment you developed and reviewed a 3 generation history of health. Your analysis revealed at least one genetic red flag and you identified interventions to address that situation. You were also asked to identify at least one ethical issue the modern nurse may face regarding genomics. In this discussion, you and your cohort will be reviewing the submitted analysis and discussing the genomic implications.
Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:
-
Describe the impact of genomics on an individual client.
- Describe an ethical issue related to genomics.
Resources
- Textbook: Health & Physical Assessment in Nursing
- Website: My Family Health Portrait

Background Information
By using genomics as a tool, healthcare workers are sometimes able to predict the probability of a client developing a health problem in the future. Nurses collect health histories by asking questions about the health of family members in order to determine the client’s risk factors for many different types of health problems. Assessment of a genetic tendency for a health problem will allow the astute nurse to identify interventions that may prevent or minimize the problem in the future.
Instructions
- Complete the genetics analysis as described in 4.2. Submit the genetic analysis to the 4.2 dropbox for grading.
- Post a summary of the analysis in the threaded discussion below. Your summary will serve as the initial post for this discussion and should include:
- Describe at least one genetic “red flag” that is a risk factor in the family tree of the individual you assessed, using evidence-based practice principles.
- Write two interventions that you world recommended to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of the health problem.
- Describe at least one ethical issue that today’s modern nurse may face related to the genomics uncovered in your genogram
- Review the summaries as posted by the members of the cohort.
- You must respond to at least one other cohort’s summary , following the guidelines for discussion response.
- Choose a summary that has not been responded to by others in the cohort until all have been responded to at least once.
- You are expected to respond to comments made by other members of the cohort.
- Discussion responses must be submitted by the end of the workshop.
