Abstract
The National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health (NPWH) supports the role of women’s health nurse practitioners (WHNPs) and other nurse practitioners (NPs) who provide healthcare for women across the lifespan in the provision of safe and effective treatment of pain. In certain cases,
this treatment may include the prescription of opioid pain relievers (OPR). NPWH acknowledges that NPs must use evidence-based strategies to reduce harm from the misuse of OPR and to prevent the development of opioid use disorder (OUD). These strategies include screening for opioid use/misuse/
abuse, educating patients about the risks associated with OPR misuse, and following evidence-based guidelines when prescribing OPR.
