Abstract:
The purpose of this case study is to highlight sarcoidosis as a disease with complexities and one that requires a multidisciplinary team approach. A case study profiling an older adult who has been diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis is discussed. Providing education about sarcoidosis is key for all patients. Nurses play an important role in educating patients with sarcoidosis in both inpatient and outpatient healthcare settings. Education, self-advocacy, and family support are all vital in the management of sarcoidosis.
