Genetics and Genomics in Nursing and Health Care – Second Edition

Genetics and Genomics in Nursing and Health Care

Title: Genetics and Genomics in Nursing and Health Care Edition: Second Edition Authors: Theresa A. Beery | M. Linda Workman | Julia A. Eggert Publisher: F.A. Davis

Cover Design: The cover is split into two distinct zones. The upper half features a warm golden-yellow background with DNA base-pair letter sequences (A, T, C, G) scrolling across it in a darker gold — immediately evoking genomic sequencing data. The title "Genetics and" appears in large, bold crimson red display type, with "Genomics" in even larger red below, the authors' names in clean dark gray at the top. The lower half transitions to a cool light blue-white background where "in Nursing and Health Care" appears in clean teal display type and "Second Edition" in dark italic below. A DAVISPlus access code badge sits in the lower right corner.

Cover Illustration: The lower portion features a stunning 3D molecular visualization — two intertwining DNA double helix structures rendered side by side. The left helix is depicted in a colorful ball-and-stick model with red, gray, gold, and purple atoms, while the right helix is rendered in cool pearlescent white and blue spheres, giving a more structural, architectural appearance. Together they create a visually rich and scientifically evocative centerpiece that beautifully represents the dual nature of genetics and genomics.

About the Book: A comprehensive nursing-focused genetics and genomics textbook bridging fundamental genetic science with clinical nursing applications, covering inheritance patterns, genomic testing, pharmacogenomics, ethical considerations, and the integration of genomic competencies into nursing practice.

Audience: Undergraduate and graduate nursing students, advanced practice nurses, and healthcare professionals integrating genomics into clinical care.
