Pharmacogenomics in the nursing literature

Read the integrative research review article by Knisely, Carpenter, and Ah “Pharmacogenomics in the nursing literature: An integrative review.” Then complete a three to four page analysis and critique paper, 750 words. In this critique you will complete the Synopsis, Credibility, and Clinical Significance components from pages 405-407 of your textbook, Appendix C: “Appraisal Guide: Conclusions of an Integrative Research Review.” (For a sample of a Completed Appraisal, look at pages 409 – 414 of your textbook).

Title your page with the following heading:
