nursing care plan please..

Unfortunately we can't do your homework for you

What have you already researched on this subject?

Moved to nursing student assist forum

ok. thanx.

What information have you found already? How about making your question regarding care plan more structured in what are you looking for as well as what you have already done?

Hypertension is a medical diagnosis...not a nursing diagnosis. What is your nursing diagnosis/care plan over?

What effects do HTN have on the body? What would your nursing diagnosis be? I'll help you work through this..but will not do a care plan for you.

i doubt that you will find any nursing care plans on the internet that you can copy. hypertension is a medical disease. you cannot care plan for a medical disease, you can only care plan your patient's response to the condition. so, you need to determine what symptoms a patient with hypertension has. your nursing diagnosis, goals and nursing interventions are then based upon those symptoms.

i recommend that you look up hypertension and it's signs and symptoms and it's pathophysiology to get you started.

this could be a tricky one to do a care plan on because htn is considered the silent killer. if one has waited to treat it when it has done damage already, when there are symptoms, i guess it would change the nature of the care plan. i guess the way to approace this care plan is to ask, was the htn diagnosed before it has done damage, and there are no symptoms, or 2) has it done a lot of damage and there are are lots of symptoms and what are they. if no symtoms..than what is left are risk diagnosis, since they do not require symptoms to be present. i am very new to care plans..i would put more weight on what daytonite has to say than what i have to say.

What textbook do you use for your Nursing Diagnosis?

What signs and symptoms from your assessment do you have to work with?

At EC we have a discussion board we quiz each other , and critique each others care plans, I would check with your school to see if you have a discussion board. One of my buddies just passed the CPNE, she said she could not have made it without the CPNE discussion board. I can see many of the students feel like i do about care plans, and lots of emphasis is put on them when we review. But for now..you need to ask yourself how is your patient responding to hypertension to the medical diagnosis? Is he or she concerned about the consequences of not adhering to the medical therapy prescribed by Doctor? Everyone reacts different to medical diagnosis. How long has the patient had hypertension and how severe is the hypertension? Has it done organ damage already? You will hear over and over again..how is the patient responding to the medical diagnosis. Not everyone has the same symptoms exactly alike. hope this helps

what will be the medical diagnosis?

I believe the original question was regarding Hypertension
