  Hypertension is high blood pressure. The guidelines were updated by the American College of Cardiology in 2017, and a blood pressure (BP) of less than 120/80 mmHg is now considered normal. Anything above this is considered elevated, and stage 1 hypertension is diagnosed at 130/80 mmHg. […] Almost 50% of adults in the United States have hypertension. As a nurse, it is one of the most common comorbidities that require management and treatment. […] Controlling blood pressure prevents complications and poor health outcomes. […] Once the nurse identifies nursing diagnoses for hypertension, nursing care plans help prioritize assessments and interventions for both short and long-term goals of care. […] Nursing Diagnosis: Decreased Cardiac Output […] Nursing Diagnosis: Excess Fluid Volume

  High blood pressure (BP), or hypertension, is defined by two levels by the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines: (1) elevated BP, with a systolic pressure (SBP) between 120 and 129 mm Hg and diastolic pressure (DBP) less than 80 mm Hg, and (2) stage 1 hypertension, with an SBP of 130 to 139 mm Hg or a DBP of 80 to 89 mm Hg. […] Hypertension is the most common primary diagnosis in the United States. It affects approximately 86 million adults (20 years) in the United States and is a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. […] The 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines provide the following definitions and classifications of elevated BP and stages of hypertension: Elevated BP with a systolic pressure between 120 and 129 mm Hg and diastolic pressure less than 80 mm Hg; Stage 1 hypertension, with a systolic pressure of 130 to 139 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure of 80 to 89 mm Hg; Stage 2 hypertension, with a systolic pressure of 140 mm Hg or greater or a diastolic pressure of 90 mm Hg or greater.

  Hypertension is a global problem and is defined as a sustained elevation of arterial blood pressure. […] Hypertension has been referred to as the silent killer and often occurs without symptoms. Approximately one-third of individuals with hypertension in the U. S. are not aware of their condition (DynaMed, 2018). The chief complaint for those suffering from hypertension is a headache. […] The best way to detect hypertension is through regular blood pressure screening. The routine screen should be done annually during visits to a healthcare provider, who will evaluate the individuals for risks or associated conditions. Home blood pressure monitoring can also be done in between routine healthcare visits. […] Treatment of hypertension includes nonpharmacological or pharmacological therapy or both (Iqbal Jamal, 2021).

  https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/6-ways-to-manage-high-blood-pressure

  High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, often is called the „silent killer” because most people who have it don’t have any symptoms. That silence can be deadly. […] High blood pressure can lead to a host of serious problems, including heart attack, heart failure and stroke. That’s why it’s crucial to know your risk factors for developing high blood pressure — and take steps to lower your risks. […] High blood pressure can cause significant damage to your heart, eyes, kidneys, brain and blood vessels. Left untreated, this can lead to kidney failure or vision loss. […] High blood pressure can also affect your ability to think, remember and learn. There’s even a type of dementia — vascular dementia — caused by high blood pressure. […] People 40 and older, or anyone younger with risk factors, should have their blood pressure checked by a healthcare professional once a year. Younger people without risk factors should be checked at least every two years.

• #10 What Nurses Need to Know: Hypertension Guideline

  https://nursing.jhu.edu/magazine/articles/2018/02/nurses-need-know-hypertension-guideline/

  What Nurses Need to Know: Hypertension Guideline […] The new definition of hypertension (anything at or above 130/80) will translate to an increase to almost 50 percent from 1 in 3 of the adult population in the United States with hypertension. However the vast majority of those newly diagnosed would not be prescribed medication but rather guided to modify their lifestyles immediately to lower blood pressure. […] In addition to more aggressive treatment, the Hypertension Guideline emphasizes an individualized approach that involves shared decision-making and support. […] We need to empower patients to know their numbers – their blood pressure levels vs. the goals, their atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk – and offer strategies for self-managing high blood pressure. […] Blood pressure in the range of systolic 120-129 and diastolic below 80 is now classified as elevated. Hypertension is now defined as blood pressure above 130/80 and as Stage 1 (systolic 130-139 or diastolic 80-89) or Stage 2 (systolic above 140 or diastolic above 90).

  HTN frequently presents without symptoms, therefore the listed symptoms are not the typical presentation. If symptoms present, that means the disease process has most likely progressed significantly. […] Control blood pressure down to a safe level appropriately. Please note, if a patient has had chronically elevated blood pressure for years or is in a hypertensive crisis, they may need their blood pressure lowered slowly, as they can have symptoms of hypotension at even normal blood pressure levels. […] Assess and monitor BP Use the accurate size of blood pressure cuff: Width = 40% arm circumference, Length of bladder = 80% of arm circumference. […] Fluid restriction (if clinically appropriate). More blood volume generally means a higher blood pressure, assuming the patient is not in heart failure. Offloading this fluid can help reduce preload and therefore reduce overall blood pressure.

  Hypertension, or high blood pressure (BP), is when the force of blood against the artery walls is persistently too high. If uncontrolled, the condition can cause heart disease or stroke. […] High BP is typically symptomless, can quietly damage blood vessels and can lead to serious health problems. […] While there is no cure for high BP, it is important for patients to take steps to improve health outcomes, such as making effective lifestyle changes and taking BP-lowering medications as prescribed by their physicians.

  Nurse-led interventions improved long-term BP control (RR 1.10, 95%CI 1.03 to 1.18). […] Nurse-led interventions may be more effective than usual care for achieving BP control at long-term follow-up. It is important to continue lifestyle modification for people with hypertension. […] Nurse-led care represents an important complement to primary physician-led usual care.

  Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart diseases and stroke among Americans; only 25% have this under control nationwide. […] This quality improvement project evaluated the outcomes of team-based care in hypertension control by registered nurses and certified nurse practitioners in a primary care setting. […] The team provided education and counseling based on knowledge assessment during visits and used unattended automated blood pressure measurement (uAOBPM) techniques to measure BP. […] The team-based care approach improved patients’ BP control and knowledge of the disease. The uAOBPM technique could be incorporated into clinical settings for accurate BP measurements. […] The purpose of this QI project was to implement an integrated care model for patients with uncontrolled hypertension as defined as SBP of 140 mm Hg or above and/or DBP of 90 mm Hg or above.

  The intervention included hypertension knowledge assessments, BP measurements, education on proper BP measurement, and counseling on lifestyle measures for BP control by the RN, which spanned over visits 1, 2, and 3 at 4-week intervals. […] The uAOBPM techniques showed a statistically significant decrease in both SBP and DBP readings compared with BP measurements taken by PCPs or other providers using traditional methods. […] The team-based care by RNs and CNPs improved patients’ BP control and knowledge of the disease. The uAOBPM technique could be incorporated into clinical settings for accurate BP measurements.
