Mr. Don Sardoff, a 51-year-old unemployed salesman, was brought to the emergency room by his wife feeling weak and disoriented. He has Addison's disease and had not been able to afford his cortisone medication this month. Upon assessment, he was found to be dehydrated with low blood pressure and electrolyte imbalances. He was started on IV fluids and hydrocortisone and admitted. His diagnosis was adrenal insufficiency likely due to lack of cortisone medication. Nursing care focused on fluid resuscitation, monitoring, education, and referral for assistance with medication costs.
