PPT-Adrenal Insufficiency Managing students with Adrenal Insufficiency (AI)

Erin Pein RNBSN What is Adrenal Insufficiency AI is a medical condition in which the adrenal glands cannot produce glucocorticoid hormone Cortisol Cortisol is needed for the body to maintain normal energy supply fluid and electrolyte balance blood pressure blood sugar and the bodys reaction to physical stress such as illness or injury.
