As medical care has evolved, it has become more common for children with genetic disorders to live longer. What impact does this have on health care delivery for the nurse providing care for these children?

Question

As more children with genetic disorders are living longer, nurses will need to be familiar with a larger number of genetic disorders and the specific care that each disorder requires. This will require ongoing education and training for nurses to provide the best care for these patients. Health care delivery will become more complex, but this is a necessary component in providing quality care for these children. The other choices are not accurate, as nurses should always spend time providing bedside care and health care delivery will not necessarily become more expensive (although it may be costly).
