Reference no: EM133803083

You're a nurse working at an outpatient clinic, and one of your patients is Hassan, a 53-year-old patient diagnosed with hypertension by their physician one month ago. Hassan informs you that his doctor prescribed him the anti-hypertensive medication, Norvasc, to treat his high blood pressure. Hassan has been hesitant to start this medication as he does not want to "take a pill every day for the rest of my life". He does not take any other medications regularly and wants to know more about non-pharmacological ways to manage his condition.

Question 1. In your role as Hassan's nurse at the outpatient clinic, and considering his recent hypertension diagnosis, what are two health promotion strategies that you would offer to Hassan as alternatives to medication or for use in conjunction with medication to manage his condition? Explain your rationale.

Question 2. What is one nursing intervention you would implement for Hassan, and when would you suggest scheduling a follow-up with him to monitor his progress?
