Management of metabolic disorders involves a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and monitoring. Nurses play a key role in:
- Education: Teaching patients about diet, exercise, and medication adherence. - Medication Administration: Including insulin for diabetes and thyroid hormone replacement for hypothyroidism. - Monitoring: Regularly checking blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and weight, and adjusting care plans as needed. - Support: Providing emotional and psychological support to help patients cope with chronic conditions.
