Genetics

You have a patient in the clinic or in the hospital or where ever you work come up to you and say that they had genetic testing performed by 23 and me and that you should take this information into account when treating them. Now, I realize that genetics is on all or your radars, but pretend that you did not know a great deal about genetics. Also the testing that 23 and me has done over the past few years has moved away from medical risk testing and to more fun testing. But that doesn’t mean that someone would not want you to take this into consideration. Also, medical risk testing will come back at some point in your careers as nurses.
