1 -- The nurse must incorporate a “person-first” philosophy and use genetic terminology that is sensitive to the maintenance of an individual’s positive self-image. This can be accomplished by saying “unaltered” or “wild-type” gene instead of “normal” gene, and “altered gene,” “altered, disease producing gene,” or “gene alteration” instead of the terms “mutated” or “abnormal” gene when communicating genetic concerns to patients, families, other healthcare providers, or the public.
