Abstract: Genetics/genomics nursing is specialized nursing practice and care that focuses on the actual and potential impact of genetic/genomic influences on health. Genetics/genomics nurses educate clients and families on genetic/genomic influences that might impact their health, and intervene with the goals of optimizing health, reducing health risks, treating disease, and promoting wellness. To do so, the research and evidence-based practice of genetics/genomics nursing includes interprofessional collegiality and collaboration with genetics/genomics professionals and other healthcare professionals to provide quality patient care. ANA and the International Society of Nurses in Genetics convened a workgroup of genetics/genomics nurse experts to update and expand the 2006 edition to accommodate ongoing and anticipated changes in their specialty and healthcare. With input from numerous nurses, they developed Genetics/Genomics Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, 2nd Edition. It is a comprehensive delineation of the competent level of practice and professional performance common to and expected from genetics/genomics registered nurses in all practice levels and settings. The publication's scope of practice addresses what is expected of all genetics/genomics nurses, specifying the who, what, where, when, why, and how of their practice. That detailed scope of practice discussion gives the context-the underlying assumptions, characteristics, environments and settings, education and training requirements, key issues and trends, and ethical and conceptual bases of genetics/genomics nursing-needed to understand and use the standards. Those 16 standards, which provide a framework for evaluating practice outcomes and goals, are those by which all genetics/genomics nurses are held accountable for their practice. The set of specific competencies accompanying each standard serves as evidence of minimal compliance with that standard.
