Nurses play a vital role in genetic counseling by providing support, education, and advocacy to patients and their families. They help assess family histories, explain genetic testing options, and interpret results, ensuring that patients understand the implications for their health and family planning. Additionally, nurses often serve as a bridge between patients and genetic specialists, facilitating communication and addressing emotional concerns throughout the counseling process. Their holistic approach helps empower patients to make informed decisions about their genetic health.
