Hypertension can be defined as persistent continuous raise of both diastolic and systolic pressures. Any systolic pressure of 140 mm Hg and a diastolic of 90 mm Hg and above is regarded as hypertension. For one to make a diagnosis of hypertension three different readings need to be obtained in different settings (Bothe, 2014). This paper discusses hypertension as a disorder and its process when it affects someone, its relation to the HFSON conceptual framework including the integration of the nursing process. It will also expound on the nursing practices, nursing care plan, diagnosis and evidence based practices linked to hypertension.

It advocates coping and promoting health while utilizing conservation ideologies. The nurse achieves this through preservation of energy, structure, shared and individual integrity. Other factors that are essential in this concept implementation include adaptation and wholeness (Abumaria, Hastings‐Tolsma & Sakraida, 2014).

This includes activities like taking the right types of food and reducing salt intake, exercising and having adequate rest to reduce some of the predisposing factors to hypertension. Adequate energy will translate to a healthy body and also serve to normalize the pressures of those with increased pressure. Conservation of structural integrity entails creating a healing environment through focusing on interventions that seek to restore the body’s structural wellbeing. This includes executing interventions aimed at controlling hypertension and any effects it might have caused to the body. Giving proper advice, conducting physiotherapy to the patients with stroke are good examples (Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper & Bucher, 2014). Personal integrity recognizes that a hypertensive patient has needs that need to be understood and respected. This includes treating the patient’s with dignity and in a manner that exhibits professionalism and human respect. The model also recognizes that the patient comes from a household, community and a society and that interventions need to be put in place to ensure that the disease process doesn’t interfere with their position in the family. This will include instituting measures to control the pressures with the aim of avoiding complications that may break that link. This approach can be
