NURSING 2026 FINAL PAPER REVIEW
QUESTIONS ANSWERS BUNDLED PRACTICE
COLLECTION
◉ What major shift occurred in the Essential Genomic Nursing
Competencies in 2023?
Answer: The competencies were reframed to focus on genomics
rather than genetics, reflecting the broader application of genomics
in nursing practice.
◉ What was the average score of nursing students on the Genomic
Nursing Concept Inventory in a Croatian study?
Answer: The average score was 31.6 percent correct.
◉ What is a key expectation for entry-level registered nurses

to the healthcare team.
◉ What is DNA?
, Answer: DNA is the long, double-stranded molecule that holds the
instructions for making and running the body.
◉ What is a gene?
Answer: A gene is a segment of DNA that produces a functional
product, often a protein.
◉ What does the genome refer to?
Answer: The genome is the entire DNA content of a cell, containing
roughly 21,000 protein-coding genes.
◉ What percentage of the genome is made up of protein-coding
genes?
Answer: Only about 1 to 2 percent of the genome consists of protein-
coding genes.
◉ What is an allele?
Answer: An allele is one of the alternative forms of a gene at a given
locus.
◉ What does heterozygous mean?
Answer: Heterozygous means having two different alleles at a given
