“…Genomics advances have implications worldwide, across the healthcare continuum, and impact all nurses regardless of academic preparation, role, or clinical specialty (Umberger, Holston, Hutson, & Pierce, 2013). Embracing genomic health care requires a prepared workforce that can inform, educate, and empower people, address existing and novel ethical issues, and anticipate any potential negative impact on vulnerable populations (Badzek, Henaghan, Turner, & Monsen, 2013; Seven, Eroglu, Akyuz, & Ingvoldstad, 2017; Tekola-Ayele & Rotimi, 2015).…”

“…Additional challenges associated with limited provider knowledge of and communication of PGx results [23] may also affect how well patients comprehend the test results. The nursing community has already recognized the need to revise curricula and training to provide nurses with the knowledge and skills to deliver genetics care in general [24–26]. Genetics and genomics nursing competencies developed in part by the American Nurses Association also include PGx as a specific area of knowledge and describes several clinical performance indicators including the ability to describe genetic and genomic factors that contribute to pharmacologic variability to patients and the ability to safely administer medications after considering PGx testing results [27].…”

As pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing is becoming integrated into routine clinical procedures for admitted hospital patients, consideration is needed as to when test results will be communicated to patients and by whom. Given the implications of PGx test results for current and future care, we propose that if results are not promptly discussed with patients when testing is completed, results should be discussed with patients during discharge care when possible, included in the printed or electronic discharge summary and a copy of the results sent to their primary provider. Nurses play an important role in discharge planning and care by providing patients with the necessary information and support to transfer from the hospital setting to an outpatient setting or to return to home and work. To promote nurses’ ability to fulfill the role of communicating PGx test results, revised curricula and interprofessional and clinical decision support are needed.

“…While there are specific credentials required to be an advanced practice nurse in genetics, Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs across the United States are in the process of revision to incorporate essentials of the study of genetics into the curriculum (Phillips, 2006). Overall, however, genetics is becoming less of a specialty discipline and more of a standard factor in everyday holistic nursing care (Umberger, Holston, Hutson, & Pierce, 2013).…”

Cancer genetic testing (CGT) is a powerful diagnostic test that improves cancer prevention and early detection among individuals at high genetic risk of cancer. Since the completion of the mapping of the Human Genome Project, CGT has become increasingly available in the clinical setting. However, as gene discovery and sequencing technology improve, the impact of these advancements on patients is less understood. The use of multigene cancer gene panel tests has become increasingly prevalent; as such, the likelihood of incidental or inconclusive findings has increased. The author conducted a literature review to outline the science on CGT methods, the psychosocial responses to testing among patients, and the unique role of nurses in this process. A significant gap in the literature exists regarding multigene cancer genetic panel tests and the associated experiences and decision-making processes among individuals who have had testing. Future research will specifically explore the experiences of young women with breast cancer who have undergone hereditary cancer risk assessment genetic panel testing that reveals incidental or inconclusive findings.
