Q

Assessment/Diagnostic Tests

A

One high does not mean high blood pressure
Need more than one time at different times
Don’t worry about the stages 120 over 80 is consider pre hypertension
When screening and test are looking for causes but it does not diagnose blood pressure

Treatment

29
Q

more treatment

A

Ideal below 130 over 80 renal or diabetes
Hypertension below 140 over 90

Thiazide diuretic is the first line of defense
After they will try
Beta blocker
Under 140 over 90 is achieved they want to decrease the dose
Could also used loop diuretic
Elderly may start at half does for any medication dealing with hypertension
Change diet and increase exercise need low sodium

Q

patient teaching

A

Patient needs to be aware:
No decongestants that has in sudfedran
Watch sodium on OTC meds

33
Q

what should pt watch for?

A

Watch for chest pain shob nose bleeds

34
Q

assesment

A

Carefully monitor bp at frequent intervals
Hx to assess for s/s of organ damage rt bp
Pay specific attention to apical and peripheral pulses
Able to afford medications
Are they taking their meds (knowledge deficit, noncompliance)

36
Q

patient teaching

A

Beta blockers may cause sexual dysfunction

Need to teach them how to take bp

Want to teach change position slowly

1.5 to 2 gram a day

Teach to reduce stress

50 % will stop taking it in the first year because of side affect and noncomplaice and not feel better while one the meds

Only can control not cure

Dairy
Lean meat, poultry, fish
Nuts, seeds, legumes
Fats
Sweets

A

TRUE

41
Q

Tell them not to abruptly stop medications
Make sure they don’t run out.

A

Rebound hypertension

42
Q

History and risk factors
Assess potential symptoms of target organ damage
Personal, social, and financial factors that will influence the condition or its treatment

A

nursing history and assessment

43
Q

Do they have chest pain or blurry vision or alerted speech do they have nose bleeds nocturia

Let your pt know that they are at a higher risk for strokes this may help with compliance

A

Assessment

44
Q

Deficient knowledge regarding the relation between the treatment regimen and control of the disease process
Noncompliance with therapeutic regimen related to side effects of prescribed therapy

A

Nursing Diagnosis

45
Q

Understanding of the disease process and its treatment
Participation in a self-care program
Absence of complications

A

Planning and Goals

46
Q

Patient education
Support adherence to the treatment regimen
Consultation and collaboration
Follow-up care
Emphasize control rather than cure
Reinforce and support lifestyle changes
A lifelong process

A

Interventions

47
Q

Reports knowledge of disease management sufficient to maintain adequate tissue perfusion
Maintains blood pressure at less than 140/90 mm Hg with no symptoms of angina, palpitations, or vision changes; stable BUN and serum creatinine levels; and palpable peripheral pulses
Adheres to the self-care program
Reduces calorie, Na, and fat intake; exercises regularly; takes medications as prescribed and reports side effects; measures BP; abstains from tobacco and excessive alcohol intake; keeps appointments

A

evaluation

48
Q

Has no complications
Reports no changes in vision; exhibits no retinal damage on vision testing
Maintains pulse rate and rhythm and respiratory rate within normal ranges; reports no dyspnea or edema
Maintains urine output consistent with intake; has renal function test results within normal range
Demonstrates no motor, speech, or sensory deficits
Reports no headaches, dizziness, weakness, changes in gait, or falls

A

evaluation

49
Q

Medication regimen can be difficult to remember
Expense can be a challenge
Monotherapy, if appropriate, may simplify the medication regimen and make it less expensive
Ensure that older adult patients understand the regimen and can see and read instructions, open medication containers, and get prescriptions refilled.
Include family and caregivers in educational program

A

Gerontologic considerations

50
Q

Hypertensive emergency
Hypertensive urgency

A

Poorly controlled or undx hypertension or stopped their meds

51
Q

Over 180 or 200

Will start seeing target organ damage kidney vision problems

Will need IV medication PO will not help and will not do it fast enough

A

Emergency

52
Q

bp is extremely elevated (more than 180/120) and must be lowered immediately (generally not less than 140/90) must be done to prevent damage to target organs.
Reduce mean bp by up to 25% in first hour and to about 160/100 in up to 6 hours and then gradually decline.

A

Hypertensive Emergency

53
Q

things to know during a hypertensive emergency?

A

To kidney heart brain might have a stroke

Don’t want to bring it down below 140 over 90

Will not need to know percent or numbers

Just know you need to however it quickly

Will need to give vasodilators

54

BP very elevated but no evidence of progressive target organ damage.
Elevated blood pressure associated with severe headache, nosebleeds, or anxiety are urgencies.
Oral agents given with goal of normalizing bp in 24 to 48 hours.
