Rationale: The

 Provide calm, restful
surroundings,

activity and noise.
Consider limiting the
number of visitors
or length of
visitation.
Rationale: Helps
reduce sympathetic
stimulation and
promotes
relaxation.
 Maintain activity
restrictions (such as
bedrest or chair
rest) during crisis
situation and
schedule periods of
uninterrupted rest;
assist client with
self-care activities as
needed.
Rationale: Reduces
physical stress and
tension that affect
BP and the course of
hypertension.
 Provide comforts
measures, such as
back and neck
massage or
elevation of head.
Rationale:
Decreases
discomfort and may
reduce sympathetic
stimulation.
 Instruct in relaxation
techniques, guided
imagery, and
distractions, if client
is interested and
able to participate.
Rationale: Can
reduce stressful
stimuli and produce
calming effect,
thereby reducing BP.
 Monitor response to
medications that
control BP.
Rationale: Response
to drug therapy is
dependent on both
the individual drugs
and their synergistic
effects. Because of
potential side effects
and drug
interactions, it is
important to use the
smallest number
and lowest dosage
of medications
possible.
