A patient comes in with hypotension. What do you do?

"If a patient comes in with hypotension, I would ask about their current symptoms, because low blood pressure can be a sign of something else major going on within the body. They may be experiencing fatigue, nausea, thirst, rapid and shallow breathing, clammy and pale skin, or blurred vision. I would want to take into account what else is going on and move forward from there, whether it's dehydration, heart problems, severe allergies, or blood loss. I would want to work with the medical team to run tests and figure out what else is going on. I would recommend Fludrocortisone as first-line drug therapy. This prevents dehydration by causing the kidneys to retain water and boosts the blood volume, which raises blood pressure. I believe by working with the rest of the team, we could find solutions for the patient and help them recover and prevent this from happening again."

Discuss your thought process, what you would do, and what medications you would give the patient. Describe what you would look for and any other indicators. Also, talk about what you would want to tell the patient for long-term care and treatment.
