INTRODUCTIONHypertension can be defined as higher blood pressure of person. The systolic anddiastolic blood pressure of a healthy person is between 120/80 mm Hg. As a nurse professionalby analysing patient BP it can be defined that if person's systolic pressure exceeds form 120 to140 than patient is suffering from hypertension. About 7.5 million people are dying due to higherblood pressure and disease i.e. 12.8% of total death annually in world according to report ofworld health organisation. In my nursing career and during my internship in hospital I haveobserved that major cause of disease is unhealthy eating habits, obesity, smoking etc. The longterm disease can leads to cancerous disease in particular patient (Delles and et. al., 2010). I amassessing a patient suffering from hypertension during my training period of nursing career inHong Kong. My analysis report studies an middle age male patient suffering from lower cardiacoutput and higher blood pressure and considered to study nursing care plan for particulardisease problem and other related disease. The patient is considered because person is havingunhealthy eating habits, often go for outside food and I assisted in my risk assessment report ofpatient that he is also suffering from obesity in which proper nursing take care plan is studied.The learning outcome from this report can be extracted that person will get to know about dietaryplans, weight reduction plans to maintain his health life helping in reducing hypertension.TASK1. Diagnosis and applied physiologyThe diagnosis of increased blood pressure is carried out by identifying any damage tointernal organs in patient of hypertension and its related disease. The diagnosis's procedurecarried out by me as a nursing professional in along with doctor include testing person bloodpressure, vascular permeability and content and viscosity of blood and level of obesity. I haveobserved from intake of risk assessment that patient is suffering from high blood pressure andobesity. The salt content is increased in hypertension pressure (Galiè and et. al., 2015). There aredifferent diagnosis methods in order to generate a report for patient suffering from disease. Thereare different level of blood pressure defined as hypertension according to age and sex of patient.Physical examination and different test like Sphygmomanometers carried out by me in order toanalyse the various symptoms and disease related to hypertension to identify etiology andpathophysiology of individual. Blood pressure is dependent on activities after which it is1
checked. The person who calculates his BP just after running is higher as compare to person inresting or sleeping stage. The first sound of heartbeat is identified as systolic pressure and secondsound of heartbeat after exhalation and relaxation of aorta valves is identified as diastolicpressure. The normal diastole and systolic pressure is much higher than a small child. Thisapproach can be helpful for the nursing person in order to analyse the hypertension in patientphysically without carrying out any tests (Hypertension in adults: diagnosis and management,2017).Pathophysiology defines various factors affecting normal blood pressure of person and itsaffect to other mechanism and processes of body. The pathology of patient suffering fromhypertension includes process carried out by nurse professional in order to diagnose change incardiovascular pressure, higher salt accumulation, vascular reactivity, vessel elasticity andcardiac output etc. The hypertension is associated with efficient renal filtration that leads toimmunosuppression due to infiltration of immune cells and may develop HIV, cancer in later onstages. The hypertension leads many disease affecting different organs like kidney, heart,malfunctioning of nervous system, affecting sympathetic nervous system and immune system ofbody.The hypertension can be managed by managing lifestyle of individual to a large extentthis should be managed by the nursing professional in order to show faster recovery of patient.The various reports are generated by me in my nursing professional in response to managementof hypertension along with following the guidelines given by different organisation likeAmerican Diabetes Associates, American Heart Association in response to helping patientsuffering from hypertension and related diseases (Guaraldi and et. al., 2011). The various waysto managing weight, reduced smoking, and alcohol, decreased intake of high salt and cholesterolfood, maintaining diet should be communicated by nursing professional that can be helpful inreducing problem of hypertension in individual only by changing some of lifestyle habit forbetter future healthy life. The patient is abusing tobacco in large amount that should be managedby cessation clinic in order to decrease chances of hypertension and its related complications inperson’s body. Anatomy of hypertension: It involves dilation of blood vessels, early signs of ageing,headache, etc.2
