Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

Hey,

I am working on developing a care plan for a 40 year old male. This male was diagnosed with hypertension 2 years ago, but has notbeen put on any medication. 2 months ago he went to his family doctor complaining od of fatigue, headaches and dizziness and was reffered to a blood pressure clinic.

Upon assessment he is very tense, restless, as well as very talkative. Due to his situation at home I have come up with the diagnosis of anxiety, however I need at least 2 more and am having trouble coming up with these...could someone please help!!!!?

:nuke:

Not knowing much of his situation it is hard for me to come up with nursing diagnosis--but one that comes to mind is possibly knowledge deficit r/t hypertension aeb lack of management of hypertension.

good luck!
