ABSTRACTInterpersonal violence is a serious public health issue, particularly in the young adult population. College women are more likely to experience interpersonal violence than the general population; college women with disabilities are at particularly high risk of victimization. Despite this reality, screening rates for interpersonal violence in college health centers remain low, and college women, both disabled and not, report unsatisfactory interactions with college health providers after an interpersonal violence experience. We provide suggestions for nurse practitioners working in college health which will assist them in their endeavors to screen college women, specifically college women with a disability, for interpersonal violence and to respond to the outcomes of those screenings using a trauma and disability-informed practice lens.

ABSTRACTThe negative health consequences of physical inactivity continue to be a global problem that must be addressed from the highest levels of government down to local primary care providers. Physical activity has been identified as a useful patient vital sign in health care. Advanced practice nurses should aggressively prescribe physical activity as an evidence-based intervention to help mitigate the increased mortality and morbidity associated with a sedentary lifestyle. A focused literature review was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, and the Cochrane online databases. Fitness wearables and mobile health trackers are a catalyst for lifestyle behavior change and cultivate a health care partnership between the patient and their provider. The evolution of fitness wearables into mainstream health care hinges on the ability of devices to integrate into electronic health records, uniformity of manufacturer standards, intuitiveness, and the assurance of user privacy and security. It is incumbent on nurse practitioners to educate themselves about the reliability and practicality of fitness trackers for their patient population. Future research should focus on adopting quality standards for all consumer devices, the seamless integration of device data into electronic health records and ensuring personal privacy and security.

ABSTRACTAs we celebrate the 20th anniversary of sequencing of the human genome and the rapid integration of genetics in health care, we pause to reflect on the status of genomic competency in nursing. The literature provides evidence that nurses do not feel prepared or confident in genomics. Genomic education for nurses and other health care professionals can support access and equity in the integration of genomics into practice. Resources are provided to support genomic education and clinical support.
