A) Its physical assessment capabilities
B) Its holistic perspective

Ans: B
Feedback:
The unique contribution of nursing to genomic medicine is its holistic perspective that takes into account each person's intellectual, physical, spiritual, social, cultural, biopsychologic, ethical, and esthetic experiences. The other answers are incorrect because nursing's assessment and evaluation capabilities are used in all areas where nursing is practiced. Nursing is not unique in having biopsychologic considerations.
