Awarded second place in the 2018 AJN Book of the Year Award in the Advanced Practice Nursing category Awarded third place in the 2018 AJN Book of the Year Award in the Maternal-Child Health/Prenatal Nursing/Childbirth category Complex concepts made manageable! Build the foundation you need to understand the science of genetics and its growing role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders. Confidently tackle the basics of genetic inheritance, the influence of somatic and germline mutations, the multifactorial relationship of gene-environment interactions, and the foundation of ethical behavior. Everyday language makes these often-intimidating topics easy to understand, while clearly defined principles, logical explanations, illustrations, tables, and clinical examples ensure you master the material.

Wish I had this when learning DNA replication in Microbiology. Lot of good charts. I plan to keep even after the class because it's interesting and easy to understand." - Katalina Cade Great resource! "This is a complex subject and this book makes it so much easier to learn and understand! I love the "memory hints" it gives you throughout the book." - Kira Short
