title: A patient with metabolic syndrome and the role of the advanced practice registered nurse.
abstract: Management of metabolic syndrome (MetS), a group of disease processes that involves numerous body systems, is a complex combination of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic modalities using current evidence-based guidelines. A case of an Asian-American adult with MetS is presented to highlight the increasing prevalence of this syndrome in Asian Americans compared to other racial groups.
