Abstract

Occupational and environmental health nurses must begin to prepare themselves for the future challenges that will be presented by the burgeoning availability of genetic information and its inevitable entry into the workplace. These challenges are complex and multifaceted, and include scientific, ethical, social, and legal concerns. The employers advised by occupational and environmental health nurses deserve the most carefully considered guidance. Likewise, the employees they serve merit the highest quality of care.
