Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Older adults with multiple comorbidities are at heightened risk for complex presentation of hemodynamic instability, particularly when cardiovascular medications and renal impairment intersect.1,2 Subtle changes in heart rate, electrolyte levels, and renal function can interact in ways that complicate diagnosis and management. Nurse practitioners (NPs) practicing in primary and acute care settings must be adept at recognizing these patterns, formulating differential diagnoses, and implementing evidenced-based management strategies.
