Nurses are in a prime position to influence and advocate for the safe and ethical use of nanotechnologies in the workplace. Nurses will need to create care plans to assist patients in their more independent roles. Nurses need to be educated on occupational safety guidelines regarding the safe handling of nanomaterial in the workplace. Research is in progress and is a high priority for federal agencies, such as NIOSH, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (which is a division of the CDC, Center for Disease Control), EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), and the Depts. Of Energy and Defense are all contributing to a body of knowledge regarding the potential effects of engineered nanomaterials and nanopharmaceuticals on humans, animals, and the environment. NIOSH is the lead federal agency for conducting research on occupational safety and health with regard to nanopharmaceuticals and nanomaterials.
