How Can Nurses Support Patients with Endothelial Dysfunction?
Nurses play a pivotal role in supporting patients through:
Patient Education: Teaching patients about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including diet, exercise, and smoking cessation, to improve endothelial health. Medication Management: Administering medications as prescribed, such as statins or antihypertensives, and monitoring for side effects. Monitoring and Assessment: Regularly checking vital signs and assessing for any changes in symptoms or complications. Collaboration with Multidisciplinary Teams: Working with physicians, dietitians, and physical therapists to provide comprehensive care.
