Reference no: EM133708006

Question

The major problem here is that client James is not adhering to or taking his prescribed high blood pressure medication. Therefore, the most essential and crucial information to provide James is to educate him about the importance of adhering to his medication and discuss the potential complications of uncontrolled hypertension. I should educate James that not taking his medication can cause his blood pressure to go out of control, which may soon lead to a large number of consequences or complications, such as permanent damage to the arteries, an increased risk of cardiovascular events like aneurysm, etc. In terms of managing James' medication, in the event that the side effects are intolerable for him, switching him to another or different type of antihypertensive medication should be considered. For instance, switch it to losartan 50 mg once a day and observe its efficacy and how it works for James.
