Nurses in primary care, maternal child health, and community health practice settings are in a unique position to intervene with clients who are prenatal crack cocaine users. Clinical assessment is considered in both the context of the pregnancy and the crack cocaine use. A synthesis model of intervention related to both the pregnancy and the drug use are outlined to support a healthy baby and a healthy recovery.
