Hypertension Care Plan & Outcomes

The patient reported feeling dizzy. Examination found the patient lethargic with decreased cardiac output and increased blood pressure. The diagnosis was decreased cardiac output due to malignant hypertension. The short-term goal was to control the patient's blood pressure within 6 hours. The long-term goal was to maintain adequate cardiac output over 5 days. Interventions included frequent blood pressure monitoring, ECG monitoring, medication administration, dietary instructions, and patient education. Goals were met after interventions.

ASSESSMENT Subjective: madalas ako mahilo, as verbalized by the patient.

Objective: >lethargic >decreased cardiac output >decreased stroke volume >increased peripheral vascular resistance >VS taken as follows: T: 37.2 PR: 83 RR: 18 BP: 180/100

DIAGNOSIS Decreased Cardiac Output r/t malignant hypertension as manifested by decreased stroke volume.

PLANNING STG: After 6 hrs of nursing interventions, the client will have no elevation in blood pressure above normal limits and will maintain blood pressure within acceptable limits. LTG: After 5 days of nursing interventions, the client will maintain adequate cardiac output and cardiac index.

INTERVENTION 1.monitor BP every 1-2 hours, or every 5 minutes during actve titration of vasoactive drugs. 2. monitor ECG for dysrrhythmias, conduction defects and for heart rate.

RATIONALE

EVALUATION STG: After 6 hrs of nursing interventions, the client had no elevation in blood pressure above normal limits and will maintain blood pressure within acceptable limits. Goal was met. LTG: After 5 days of nursing interventions, the client maintained an adequate cardiac output and cardiac index. Goal was met.
