A nurse considers that clients may not want to have genetic testing done because of the impact that it may have on future life decisions. Which of the following best describes how the nurse is incorporating genetics/genomics into practice?
a. Assessment
b. Identification
c. Referral
d. Provision of education, care, and support
ANS: B
One of the ways that a nurse uses identification is by identifying ethical, cultural, and societal issues related to genetic and genomic information and technologies. Assessment is not being performed here because the nurse is not assessing a particular client's needs or history. Referral is not taking place, nor is education, care, or support of a patient.
