Scenario
You recently assumed a new role as a preceptor and were asked to create a training session for new graduate orientation. Your topic for this training session is genetics and genomics in nursing practice. Training will include performing a genetic assessment, creating a three-generation family genogram with standard symbols and terminology, explaining disease patterns, describing history patterns that increase risk of disease and identifying possible indications for genetic and genomic services. To prepare for the training session, you complete a three-generation family pedigree and examine the influence of genetics and genomics on your family.
Instructions
Complete a three-generation family pedigree and genogram on yourself, a family member, or a friend,
In a Word document, include the following information:
Translate a family history to a three-generation family genogram with standard symbols and terminology.
Explain potential associated patterns of disease, including:
Genetic patterns
Environmental patterns
Describe family history patterns that would put clients at an increased risk of disease
Explain indications for potential genetic and genomic services
