Healthcare and Nursing Hypertension is described as a long term medical condition that tends to elevate the blood pressure in arteries. There has been a tendency in many patients not to comply with the set medication offered to ensure that their hypertension levels remain relatively low. Lack of information among the hypertension patients thus lays the basis for the research.  Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to indicate that hypertension patients can adhere to medication if given the proper education and the resources needed. The research question is, thus, are their actions that can be conducted to ensure that hypertension patients become more educated and adhere to their medication. The main reason for choosing this topic is based on experience in the intensive care unit, where I have had the chance to experience patients coming with uncontrolled levels of hypertension due to lack of education on medical adherence. The goal of the research is to ensure that over time hypertension patients are educated and are made to adhere to their medications to avoid the extremes that may be associated…

My parents would solve their conflicts in open through verbal exchange, facial, and body language that showed their disapproval with each other’s ideas. The overt behavior was also used in disciplining my siblings and I whenever we did something wrong. My two elder siblings would also verbally confront each other whenever the disagreed.

Theoretically, moving to EHRs ought to change everything. Instead of a dynamic storage system, many networks do not have interconnectedness, which means that they cannot communicate with others (Jones, 2018). This lack of contact can often endanger the safety of patients. Despite the rise of electronic health records (EHR), the safe and reliable handling of patient information is becoming more difficult for hospitals (Krummel, 2019). Clinical staff and business associates may place patients in danger by data entry errors. Issues that involve the unintended insertion of patient data into the wrong medical record, pre-population models with information for which is not essential to a patient, or lack of details due to system problems and data availability (Jones, 2018).
