NANDA Nursing Diagnosis for Hypertension
NANDA Hypertension
Hypertension is a measurement of the force against the walls of the arteries as blood pumps cycles from the heart through the rest of the body. Hypertension readings are given as two numbers. The first number is called the systolic blood pressure. Systolic pressure is amount of pressure that blood exerts on vessels while the heart is beating. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in blood vessels between heartbeats, or when the heart is resting. A person with hypertension with has a systolic reading of over 140 and a diastolic reading of over 90.
Many medical issues can be developed from the existence of hypertension, and the most serious ones are heart failure, stroke, coronary heart disease/coronary artery disease and kidney problems.
Hypertension can be classified as either primary or secondary. Essential, or primary, hypertension is the most common type of hypertension. Though there is no direct cause for hypertension, there are many lifestyle factors that increase the risks of developing hypertension, including: smoking, stress, visceral obesity, potassium deficiency, obesity, salt sensitivity, alcohol intake, and vitamin D deficiency. Risks also increase with age and family history.
Pathophysiology of Hypertension
NANDA Nursing Diagnosis for Hypertension
1. Risk for Decreased Cardiac Output related to increased afterload, vasoconstriction, myocardial ischemia, ventricular hypertrophy
2. Acute Pain: headache related to increased cerebral vascular pressure
3. Ineffective Tissue perfusion : cerebral, renal, cardiac related to circulatory disorder
4. Knowledge Deficit related to lack of information about the disease process and self-care.
