Hypertension is described as a medical disorder where the blood pressure is higher than the normal values. Sphygmomanometer readings more than 139/89 mm hg are regarded as hypertension, having been taken in more than two different distinct occasions (Bothe, 2014). This paper discusses hypertension as a disorder and the impacts after 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.

Hypertension refers to blood pressure readings that exceed the normal values as described above. The procedure of taking the blood pressure …show more content…
The nervous, renal and the endocrine systems of the body are all believed to take part in the regulation of blood pressure whereby in different circumstances they lead to higher readings. The renin-angiotensin system also has a crucial role to play regarding blood pressure control (James, Oparil, Carter, Cushman, Dennison-Himmelfarb, Handler & Ortiz, 2014). It has been argued that any event that leads to high cardiac activity and challenging blood vessels as blood flows to all the body parts serves as a possible cause of elevated blood …show more content…
The framework gives emphasis on health enhancement or restoration through the use of preservation philosophies. The nurse attains the goals in this case through the application of the framework components that entail conservation of energy, structure, shared and individual uprightness. The ability to cope and totality are other key components in this framework (Abumaria, Hastings‐Tolsma & Sakraida, 2014). This structure, therefore, can be applied in the provision of care to a patient as discussed in the following
