It is important for the AGACNP to recognize that in traumatic brain injury, hypotension may not necessarily require immediate intervention with vasopressors, as it may be a protective response. Monitoring and managing the patient's condition closely, including neurologic status and trends in blood pressure, is crucial in this situation.
