Patient Genetic and Genomics Interview and Education Part 1
To assess a patient’s genetic risk, you must understand the relationship of genetics and genomics to health, prevention, screening, treatment, and monitoring. E This is a two-part assignment whose purpose is to help you develop your abilities to apply genetics and genomic information while providing patient care.
Purpose:
Use a constructed genetic pedigree from collected family history information to identify a risk profile and develop a plan of care, including patient education and referral.
Before you start this project go and register for the G3C (Global Genetics and Genomics Community) learning portal The site is free and has interactive cases that demonstrate how genetic and genomics link to health and illness. Throughout each patient scenario, there are links to resources and supplemental educational activities to expand upon genetic/genomic learning concepts. At the end of each patient encounter, learners are prompted to make a recommendation to their “patient” and are assessed across multiple domains such as risk assessment, family history, and patient medical history. There are 17 cases, and you can get CEs for the activities.
Part 1:
Choose one case in the and complete the activity, submit the report given at the end of the activity.
Select a patient that you can interview virtually. Set up a time and quiet time, go over with the patient about confidentiality, and explain that no identifiable information will be used in this assignment.
Go to the Center for Disease Control “My Family Health Portrait: A tool from the Surgeon General at
Collect a client’s personal and three-generation family health history to assess for genomic factors that impact the client’s health (Save the created Family Health History, , use fictitious names, but keep the rest of the information accurate).
Identify genetic and genomic factors within collected history that contribute to illness and/or health risk.
Identify issues in this patient-related to each of the following: Financial/Socioeconomics, Cultural, Religious, and Lifestyle.
Identify ethical/legal concepts related to this patient. Include concepts Genetics/Genomics Nursing Practice.
Identify the major challenge with the patient and identify possible strategies to overcome this challenge.
Report your findings in a three-page report including the three-generation map (Genogram) using APA guidelines.
