    Author: Cardaci R.
    Journal: Am J Nurs; 2013 Sep; 113(9):40-8; quiz 49. PubMed ID: 23958675.
    Abstract:
    Current practices in the treatment and transfer of pregnant inmates in this country may negatively affect maternal and fetal health or well-being. Some violate federal or state laws; others conflict with standards of obstetric care and are widely considered unethical or inhumane. This article discusses these practices; their legal status; and implications for nursing practice, policy, and research.
