Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: Implications for Primary Care Nurse Practitioners

By: Susan A. Albrecht, PhD, FNP-BC, Brayden N. Kameg, DNP, RN, Kathryn R. Puskar, DrPH, RN, Erin L. Lewis, BSN, Ann M. Mitchell, RhD, RN.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2019.05.012 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2019.05.012)

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) encompass a myriad of biological, psychological, and physiological variants. In primary care, FASDs are not routinely screened for, while prevalence rates remain high at 5% to 9%. Alcohol screening and brief intervention is an evidence-based practice that identifies those who may be consuming alcohol at risky levels and provides a brief motivation-enhancing intervention. FASDs are completely preventable when women do not consume alcohol during the prenatal period, and nurse practitioners who provide patient-centered primary care to women are ideally positioned to help in the prevention FASDs. IAlbrecht, et al. 2019, p. 550).
