Nancyver, great post. Your summary of the differences between JNC VII and JNC VIII good examples. The most important difference that I seemed to find was that JVC VIII is evidence based; this is very important to me (Mahanjan, 2014). I find this important because I am able to prescribe with confidence that the medication and know that the choice I am making is evidence based and best practice for my patients. I am also relieved that this algorithm seems to be easier to follow.
One area that I might be concerned about is prescribing the patient an ACE and an ARB. I am not concerned about prescribing two medications because I seriously considered this myself; but might be a little concerned about starting an ACE if the patient has had a medication
