Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a complex, chronic medical condition where blood pressure is consistently above the normal range.
Patients usually have no symptoms, which can lead to delays in detection and treatment and to serious complications.
This has also led to hypertension being dubbed the ‘silent killer’.
In 2012-13, 6 million Australian adults (34%) had hypertension, defined as a blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or more, or were taking antihypertensive medication.
Of these, more than 4.1 million (68%) had uncontrolled or untreated hypertension.
It is estimated that at least 25% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults have untreated or uncontrolled hypertension.
This module focuses on the nurse’s role in the management of hypertension in adults.
Nurses have a crucial role in identifying and monitoring hypertension, and in supporting patients to manage the condition.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
