PICOT Statement Paper: Problem of Hypertension
Student’s Name: Idalmis Espinosa
Institution: Grand Canyon University
Date: 12/03/2017
Practice Problem/Issue and PICOT Question
Hypertension adds to the passing of many individuals all through the world, yet there is as yet poor administration of the condition. Setting up compelling control measures could essentially control the quantity of passings around the world. To control and administration hypertension successfully, it is imperative to recognize and deal with the way of life hazard factors related with the condition as that brings down circulatory strain. What’s more, it is crucial to perform standard screening, discussing adequately with patients, checking patients all the time, and holding fast to treatment. Specifically, it is conceivable to avert and control the condition viably through way of life changes (slim down and frequently captivating in work out) as these serves to altogether direct pulse (Dua et al,2014). Evidenced based solution for patients with hypertension is to lower DBP and SBP below levels in which medication will be started. There should be an alternative drug from a different class to take care of a patient.
PICOT Question
For male grown-ups between the ages of 40 and 70 with hypertension, and with various co-morbidities, will the adjustment in way of life (drawing in routinely in exercise and eating more beneficial and adjusted suppers), contrasted with patients who utilize prescription to treat/deal with their hypertension, help to control their pulse and diminish the danger of creating cardiovascular illnesses in their recuperation period inside a half year. The period will be sufficiently long to make a patient to be capable not to experience the ill effects of hypertension and to likewise lessen the dangers that the people will ordinarily go through(Howes,2013).
Intervention
The primary technique for intercession for a patient with hypertension it is with no uncertainty to put them under prescription, so they can get cured. That is the most secure path as it will influence the patient to have the capacity to deal with themselves as far as how they to think, what they eat and even the exercises that they attempt to participate in (Dua et al,2014). The age of the patients will likewise imply that the patients are given solution that can manage them in the most helpful ways and which they can acknowledge all in all. The medication that can be given for this situation is one that can decrease the cruelty of a medication. The nursing intervention for patients with hypertension is assessing the headache pains that a patient is experiencing and checking the blurred vision in every four hours until it goes away. Another nursing intervention is for a nurse to educate a patient on how they consult with their doctor before medication is stopped.
Comparison
The fundamental contrasting option to contrast with the mediation will have with do with influencing the patient to get the opportunity to do a considerable measure of activities. That is one thing that will make the licenses to have the capacity to manage the issue of hypertension and since practices have been demonstrated that they work, it will then be simple for the patient to recuperate from the hypertension and what will imply that they will get cured from such an infirmity. Toward the end, all will have ended up being sure as the patient will have the capacity to get the coveted medication(Howes,2013). Patient care to those with hypertension is to first educate, measure the blood pressure and even give advice Education will entail modifying the behavior of a patient which is related to smoking, alcohol intake and how to manage stress.
Outcome
In this exploration and managing a patient, it is with most likely that there are things that are being tended to and which are there to have the capacity to manage the way a patient gets the chance to react to pharmaceutical or even exercise. The cerebral pains that are regularly seen in patients with antagonistic hypertension combined with the measure of considerations are the conditions that are to be wiped out in the patients that have hypertension. The numerous unfavorable occasions in the patients will get diminished because of the patients having the capacity to be under pharmaceutical or notwithstanding sharing in practices that are useful for their wellbeing (Dua et al,2014). Healthcare agency for caring for patients with hypertension can be the likes of Intrepid USA Healthcare Services which gives Hypertension Management Program that helps patients get and have a maintained blood pressure that is healthy. Nursing practice for patients with hypertension will be the likes of minimizing the cost of therapy, including a patient in making of decision and even implementation of treatment plans step by step.

Review: Treatment of Hypertension
Student’s Name: Idalmis Espinosa
Institution-Affiliated: Grand Canyon University
Date: 12/24/17
Introduction
Hypertension, also known as high blood disease pressure is a serious condition that ultimately results in damaging of blood vessels leaving an individual prone to heart attack, stroke, and other conditions. Various factors increase the likelihood of developing the disease they include obesity, consumption of a lot of salt, diabetes, smoking, alcohol intake among others. Globally, hypertension results in the death of millions of people, but with the right administration, the mortality rates can be reduced. Treatment of hypertension is diverse including lifestyle changes and treatment through drug therapy. Medication entails various drugs ranging from thiazide diuretics, Beta blockers, Angotenism- Converting enzymes (ACE), Calcium Channel Blockers among others. Lifestyle approach in the treatment of hypertension involves intake of healthy diets, quitting smoking, physical exercise, reducing alcohol intake, among others (Khatib, 2012).
A Comparison of the Research Questions
Comparison falls into either a patient with hypertension using drugs to treat the hypertension or a lifestyle approach. Lifestyle modification is a crucial long-term step in the management of hypertension even in the presence of drug therapy and may reduce or even reduce the need for anti-hypertensive drugs. Also, lifestyle changes in the management of high blood pressure can be essential in treating other chronic illness. Lifestyle changes include eating dietary approaches which involve developing a healthy pattern as well as reducing salt intake. Furthermore, quitting smoking assists in reducing cardiovascular risks while reduced alcohol consumption results to lower systolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Physical exercise is critical in lowering systolic blood pressure (Huang, Duggan, & Harman, 2006). In contrast, patients can use drug therapy in the treatment of hypertension and help avoid cardiovascular within half a year. Diuretics are the most utilized drugs in the treatment of hypertension; the original anti-hypertensive drugs are vital in lowering the blood pressure and increasing the effectiveness of other antihypertensive agents. Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Blockers, Calcium Channel Blockers, Beta Blockers are also used in the treatment of diabetes (Williams, Lawerence, Fanorow, & Go, 2010).
A comparison of sample populations
The sample population entails male grown-ups between the ages of 40-70 years who can either undertake drug therapy or lifestyle management of hypertension. Patients who undergo drug treatment have a low chance of suffering from cardiovascular risks compared to men who are not untreated. Use of antihypertensive drugs is crucial in treating level 2 and 3 of hypertension. Randomized clinical trials carried out on men have helps reduce the chance of stroke and coronary risks. Also, the use of evidence-based technology has also been vital in reducing the level of SBP and DBP making it possible to initiate medication. However, treatment of people within the age of 40-55 years differs with that of men between the ages of 55-70 years. In contrast, men who undertake lifestyle changes as a treatment method for hypertension have to put in place long-term strategies to ensure they adequately address the disease (Williams, Lawerence, Fanorow, & Go, 2010). Lifestyle changes might not be an effective method of treatment especially in serious condition and may require the incorporation of two or more anti-hypertensive drugs. Men between the ages of 40-50 year are suitable for this method, as most have the energy to take up regular physical exercises which are vital in the addressing the disease. Lifestyle changes for men involve changing eating habits, quitting smoking, reduced alcohol intake, sodium restriction among others (Huang, Duggan, & Harman, 2006).
A comparison of limitation of study
The research on the effectiveness of both the use of drug therapy and lifestyle modification in the treatment of hypertension has limitations. One, Drug therapy entails the use of various drugs which make it difficult to determine the effectiveness of each medication used in the treatment of the disease. Also, the presence of other existing ailments in some of the patients makes it hard to determine the effectiveness of most anti-hypertensive in the treatment of hypertension since most are also administered to treat the conditions as well. The outcomes of lifestyle changes in the treatment and management of hypertension are impossible to measure as they are long no tangible methods to indicate proof of the changes. Lastly, on some occasions, patients have to be administered with anti-hypertensive which makes it difficult to determine the effectiveness of lifestyle changes as the treatment method for hypertension.
Conclusion
Hypertension is among the leading causes of heart attacks, strokes, and other complications. With the right interventions in place, the disease can be managed and treated; hypertension treatment takes into account two forms of treatment including the use of anti-hypertensive drugs as well as lifestyle modifications. Anti-hypertensive drugs used include diuretics, angiotensin, converting enzymes blockers, beta blockers among others each of the drugs work differently, but all ultimately result in lowering the blood pressure. Lifestyle changes are also crucial in management and treatment of the disease especially in reducing cardiovascular risks and lowering the blood pressure. I recommend the research to utilize different studies and findings from other research carried out in the past to elaborate the differences and effectiveness of the methods in the treatment of high blood pressure.
