Nurse practitioners (NPs) are encountering adults with PH with increasing frequency. Through increased knowledge of the pathophysiological changes, diagnostic measures, and treatments for adults with PH, NPs collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to manage and improve client outcomes and quality of life.
