Abstract
Session presented on Sunday, September 18, 2016:
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) consists of a wide variety of physical, behavioral, and cognitive dysfunctions resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure. Developmental and cognitive defects affect approximately 3 in every 1,000 live births; this not only creates turmoil for individuals and families involved, but also results in an economic burden to the U.S., evidenced by the fact that FASD-related healthcare costs are approximately $5.4 billion annually. Because prenatal alcohol consumption is the leading preventable cause of birth defects and disabilities, it is crucial that nurses who frequently encounter women of childbearing age are adequately educated on the evidence-based practice of alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention (alcohol-SBI).
