Arterial hypertension. A nonpharmacologic approach.
Non-compliance for the treatment of hypertension is very high due to the asymptomatic nature of the disease process, the modifications of lifestyle, and the untoward side-effects of the medication regime. Nurses have a primary role in assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the effectiveness of an individualized nursing care plan. A master nursing care plan is included to assist the nurse in teaching the patient with arterial hypertension.
