1045-16: Pharmacogenomics Nursing: Personalized Health Care

Pharmacogenomics nursing is about the relationship between an individual's genes and drug response. Nurses already use knowledge about drug to drug interactions to promote safe, efficacious medication outcomes. Pharmacogenomics takes this knowledge a step further by matching a drug treatment to a patient's genotype.
