EXAMPLE
in the article, Perinatal Substance Exposure and Long-Term Outcomes in Children: A Literature Review, the authors discuss substance abuse in pregnancy and the long-term effects it has on the babies who are exposed. The article goes on to define Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) as a “[..]group of symptoms manifested at birth by infants upon discontinuation of the drug to which they were exposed in utero” (Joseph, Brady, Hudson, & Moran, 2020, P.164). The article explains the different symptoms and how the treatment is based on a scoring system. The authors go into great detail over how drug abuse during pregnancy can cause a delay in the child’s language, sensory, motor, and cognitive development. Children exposed to substances in utero showed to have a slower anthropometric growth pattern and were at a higher risk for engaging in risky behaviors, such as drug abuse themselves (Joseph, Brady, Hudson, & Moran, 2020). The article provides many references, facts, and statistics supporting these claims. The article concludes with a discussion on the importance of giving effective interprofessional education to these at risks patients to prevent negative outcomes from occurring. I chose this article because I currently work in OB and see many pregnant patients come in with substance-abuse problems. I have worked with many newborns who have NAS and have had to treat them with morphine due to the severe side effects of withdrawal. I have witnessed newborns withdrawing from multiple substances at a time, and have used the scoring system mentioned in the article. It is a very sad situation and I have always been curious as to how these newborns do as they grow. Reference: Joseph, R., Brady, E., Hudson, M. E., & Moran, M. M. (2020).
