Question - In what hospital setting should most infants suffering from the neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) be cared for?
Answer - The cited reference notes “What appears to be clear is that when safe and feasible, infants with NAS should be cared for outside of an intensive care unit; they should room-in with their parents; and they should be breastfed if there are no contraindications.
