MANAGING HYPERTENSION
Introduction
It has been reported that hypertension is one of the most common issue which is
prevalent in United States among older adults above the age of 65year. The count is expected
to enhance by 20% in the year 2050 which requires a proper management (Li et al., 2021). The
below paper will discuss about intervention which will be effective in reducing hypertension.
Discussion
Research question- Does implementation combined intervention of exercise and dietary
management helps in lowering hypertension among older adult in nursing home?
PICOT question
Population- Elderly population Or Older Adult
Intervention- Combined diet and exercise intervention for older adult above the age of 60.
Comparison- Usual care such as providing the patient with medication
Outcome- Reduction of hypertension
Time- 3 month
Search strategies- The search strategies which is utilised for collecting articles are- “Older
Adult AND hypertension”, “Exercise AND Hypertension”, “Physical exercise OR
hypertension”, “Dietary Management AND hypertension”. The Boolean operator AND and
OR is used for including papers in the study.
Search databases- The search database or engines used in this stud are- “NCBI”, “Google
Scholar”, “Elsevier”, “PubMed”. The articles published in English between the year 2016 to
2021 is included in the study.
Evidence based solution
1
MANAGING HYPERTENSION
Lopes et al., (2018) stated that exercise is one of the most effective intervention which
helps in managing hypertension. The study highlighted that physical activity such as light
exercise training for older adult helps in reducing the stiffness of the blood vessel and
ultimately manages the systolic and diastolic pressure. The exercises along with Lifestyle
intervention purchase aerobic exercise helps in reducing blood pressure among the patient.
Carpio-Rivera et al., (2016) stated that exercise intervention helps in lowering the systole and
diastole pressure and the timing of exercise influences its effectiveness with reduction of
hypertension. The study highlighted that exercise intervention must be provided to the patient
which not only reduce hypertension but will also help in maintaining body balance and
maintaining a proper body mass index. Hence in this case physical intervention will help in
managing hypertension among the older adults in healthcare organisation.
Nursing Intervention
The nurse plays an essential role for providing the patient with proper multi-disciplinary
approach which not only helps in managing hypertension but also improve the quality of
life. The nurse in this case must communicate with the patient for suggesting the patient with
proper dietary intervention along with physical exercise which will lower the blood
pressure. Similarly, then ask must provide proper attention in providing physical activity as it
might increase the risk of fall among the patient. The nurse must educate the patient about the
importance of maintaining light physical activities which will not only help in lowering blood
pressure but it will also enhance the muscle strength (Iellamo et al., 2021). The nurse must
guide the patient step by step in maintaining physical activity which will help in managing the
blood pressure level.
Health agency

MANAGING HYPERTENSION
The organisation must implement policies for caring older adult which will help in
improving the quality of care. The patient must be provided with proper guidelines about the
benefit of intervention for enhancing knowledge.
Nursing Practice
The nurse must maintain a proper documentation process and assess the vital for
understanding the blood pressure level of the older adult. The nurse must assess the patient’s
fluid balance in order to determine the effectiveness of the intervention (Sardeli et al., 2021).
Conclusion
The above paper discussed about the exercise intervention for lowering blood pressure.
Exercise intervention helps in lowering the systole and diastole pressure and the timing of
exercise influences its effectiveness with reduction of hypertension. The study also discussed
about nursing practice which is essential for delivering care to the older adult.
