Concept Map Hypertension

This document outlines a nurse's plan to help a patient manage high blood pressure (hypertension). The nurse will determine the patient's motivation for weight loss, educate them on hypertension and its effects, identify lifestyle risk factors, provide nutrition information, teach calming exercises, and reinforce treatment and follow-up. The expected outcomes are for the patient to lose weight safely over time, adhere to their medication regimen, avoid high-fat foods, understand why medication is needed, and lower their blood pressure significantly over the next 6 months through lifestyle changes and stress management.
