Individualized Care Plans: Develop customized care plans that address all comorbidities and consider the patient's preferences and lifestyle. Medication Management: Monitor for potential drug interactions and educate patients on proper medication use. Patient Education: Provide education on managing multiple conditions, including lifestyle modifications and symptom monitoring. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Collaborate with physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care.
