Influence Paper
The focus of this paper is to summarize the effects of opioid use during pregnancy on the neurodevelopment of neonates. Neonatal abstinence syndrome has increased significantly over the years though little research has been done on long term neurological effects of infants pre-exposed to opioids. This paper goes into the research that has been conducted in regards to these neurological effects and how through doing this research one can improve their practice when working with these infants.
