The Human Genome Project will change how health is defined and how disease is prevented, diagnosed, and treated. As the largest group of health care providers in contact with patients, nurses need to be competent in the science of genetics. Beyond this, nurses need to understand the complexities that arise in genomic health care. Ethical, legal, and social issues are integral to the delivery of genomic health care, and nurses must have an astute understanding of such complexities. What it means to know, to reason, and to act in this postgenomic age is explored.
人类基因组计划将改变健康的定义方式以及疾病的预防、诊断和治疗方式。作为与患者接触的最大医疗服务提供者群体，护士需要精通遗传学科学。除此之外，护士还需要理解基因组医疗中出现的复杂性。伦理、法律和社会问题是基因组医疗服务不可或缺的一部分，护士必须敏锐地理解这些复杂性。本文探讨了在这个后基因组时代，知识、推理和行动意味着什么。
