Abstract

Several expectations concerning the effect of molecular biology studies on the Precision-Medicine (PM) have been aroused by the significant investment and growth of this field over the past few decades, particularly after the end of the Human Genome Project. To attain the novel criteria for maintenance, the omics sciences should be involved in the field of nursing, particularly in nursing healthcare. The development of functional genomics study, which collectively comprises the omics sciences includes epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics has been made possible by enhanced methods built on structural genomics understanding. The recent issue is to turn this more comprehensive body of data into therapeutic advantages for patients, such as extra exact diagnoses, treatment, and care which is adapted to the particular requirements of individuals and communities. Integrating omics sciences into educational and professional activities is a significant barrier for nursing, as it prevents nurses from being autonomously, securely, and scientifically empowered to provide tailored care to patients and their families who rely on the PM. The article discusses the impact of PM and the challenges it faces in clinical practice
