Hypertension Management
Detecting hypertension isn’t easy, and controlling hypertension is crucially devastating worldwide. High blood pressure awareness should be identified in a global standpoint to effectively increase management. A high blood pressure treatment plan, using a combination of lifestyle changes and medication adherence is vital (Khatib et al., 2014). This paper highlights hypertension using two qualitative articles, CASP Tool checklist, and evidence matrix to provide effective research for health care outcomes revolving hypertension management.

The challenge hospitals are facing are identifying the barriers with stakeholder, policy, makers, and healthcare professionals to implement the guideline in patients plan of care. The purpose of the article is to identify the views and obstacles to adhering to a national clinical practice guideline (CPG) on hypertension management from physicians, allied health care professions, and policy makers’ perspective (Lee et al., 2015). The CASP tool appendix B clinical questions, are used to identify the validity of this trial. The guideline chosen was the Malaysian CPG on the management of hypertension. A thematic analysis approach is used to identify the data for this sample study. There were 35 participants in the study, seven in-depth question were asked to policymakers and six focus groups were conducted with physicians and allied health professional. Researchers were mindful of personal views and bias about CPG on hypertension when conducting their research. Everyone who participated was sent emails to make remarks on the results identified to check for validity of the date interpretations. The result of the study was divided into main themes and three sub-themes. The main theme were variations to using CPG and barriers to adhering to CPG. The sub-themes concentrated on attitudes and feelings to CPG. The physicians were the main users of CPG and believe it was important to their …show more content…

The outcome measures are ensuring patients usage of medications to decrease hypertension while incorporating lifestyle changes in their plan of care through education prior to discharge. Another outcome will provide a cost-effective treatment for the hospital in providing quantitative and qualitative base research to implement managing hypertension. Understanding patients’ and healthcare professionals’ feelings and thoughts will help provide the data in maintaining low blood pressure. The Institute of Medicine aims to impact the outcomes in the healthcare setting. The IOMS are safety, timeliness, efficiency, effectiveness, equity, and patient-centered care (Institute of Medicine, 2001). The purpose of researching evidence base practice and analyzing articles for hypertension is to provide and educate patients. Educating patients about lifestyle modification, diet changes, physical activity, and medication adherence plays an important role. Effectively providing patients hypertension management tools will help provide equity. The outcome will greatly affect the Institute of Medicine’s aims (Institute of Medicine,

Discuss how the clinical question would guide the nurse’s search strategy to address the issue and implement a change in practice. This well-built clinical question will guide the nurse to search the keywords or their combination to narrow down the research. The keywords may include “anticoagulant therapy”, “warfarin toxicity”, “dietary management”, and “vitamin K administration”. Once the peer-reviewed journals and articles that contain these keywords are located, the nurse will review the evidence based practice.

Pizarro and the Conquistadors came to view the Inca civilization as a utopia where they could establish their power and control over for personal gain. The conquest would lead to drastic change that would forever change the future of the region and continent. The role of the catholic religion justified the often inhumane acts such as rampant murder and abuse of the native population with the grounded justification that they [the conquistadors] were performing a service in the name of god. “as human beings, Indians were not exempt from original sin...abhorrent customs, sexual practices, family structure, religious rituals, and presumed human sacrifices were all sinful” (pg 21). The quote demonstrates just one of the many ‘justifiable’ reasons the conquistadors felt that their acts of violence were

For this week’s discussion post I will identify a situation where evidence-based practice has been applied in my workplace. Evidence-based guidelines are put in place and into practice after research has been completed. This helps with intertwining practice and research and are established by professional organizations, government agencies, institutions, or expert panels (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2014). These clinical guidelines give clinicians findings to help in the decision making process of diseases or treatments. In developing evidence-based practice, a clinical question must first be put into place.

In the clinical setting, the nurses’ expertise can be used to make clinical assessments and recommendations for routine care at a lower cost than a physician visit. This would increase the number of patients seen and increase the quality of the care provided. The advance practice nurse would be able to hone in on preventative measures and increase patient education. The advance practice nurse can also make recommendations about practice changes needed to facilitate better health outcomes through the use of evidence-based practice. Nursing leaders are aware of how important nursing science is to provide needed evidence to transform practice, even though, finding the time and resources to support any research activity is often challenging (Stone, 2017).

(Marieb and Hoehn, 2016) In my clinical setting, it was expected that a level of proffesional protocol is carried out for a correct, and safe arterial reading while maintaining a hygienic and aseptic approach that is safe, and reduces the risk of detrimental harm to myself as a healthcare professional and to the patient in my care. Bp is read from patients as a matter of determining illness by monitoring what is known as a NEWS score, presenting a validating number to recognise the level of health of an individual. (Royal College of Nursing, 2015) Hypertension, high blood pressure, or hypotension, low blood pressure, can be a sign of a decreased state of health for my patients, therefore it was imperative that a bp exam is carried out in the correct way for the

Giving care to a patient is not a straightforward process because a patient is made up of advanced systems. Symptoms and the severity of a disease process are dependent on a particular patient, and it may not always be uniform from patient to patient. Because of this, nurses must be able to use their knowledge appropriately to help a patient. Nurses use techniques, such as Evidence Based Practice, in order to integrate new and advanced knowledge into their patient care (Canada, 2016). By exercising evidence based practice, nurses effectively seek knowledge, take experience from past situations, and apply this intelligence to best give patient care (Canada, 2016).
