What Are the Challenges in Managing HDL Cholesterol?
Several challenges can complicate the management of HDL cholesterol:
Patient Non-Adherence: Patients may find it difficult to stick to lifestyle changes or medication regimens. Co-morbid Conditions: Conditions like diabetes and obesity can make it harder to manage cholesterol levels. Lack of Resources: Limited access to healthcare resources can hinder effective management and follow-up.
Nurses must address these challenges by providing continuous support, resources, and education to patients.
