Hypertension is defined as a high blood pressure that is characterized by a systolic blood pressure that is greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure than is greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg. Undeniably, Hypertension is on the rise in Canada, its prevalence is one in five adult Canadians and 25% of Canadians as of 2012 (Lewis, 2014). Not to mention, several other risk factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable predispose individuals to hypertension. Accordingly, research studies show that the statistics and prevalence of hypertension is mostly common in Canadians of Black, south Asian and Aboriginal decent (Lewis, 2014). In practice, Nurses can effectively care for a patient with hypertension by incorporating the Paterson & Zderad Humanistic theory with the intention of promoting and reducing the incidence of hypertension hence, creating a healing environment.

Evidently, the unique interaction that takes place between the nurse and the hypertensive patient during the call and response phase is very important in promoting understanding between them and also for the nurse to gathering information. During this phase, the hypertensive patient initiates a call by seek for help and in turn the Nurse responds to the call by establishes an open, caring, empathetic and trusting relationship that is inclusive and supportive rather than judgemental, there by promoting a healing environment.
