Positive feedback short and simple

In the scenario presented, the following items would be appropriate to do. The first step is to recheck the blood pressure after five minutes to validate and confirm that the initial high reading is accurate.

The next step involves educating the patient. The patient in the scenario is aware of the risks associated with elevated blood pressure, so the risks should be reaffirmed and explained in terms that the patient understands. Next, the patient should be reassured that staff will be there to work with her to help her manage the high readings.

Lastly, staff should work with the patient to develop a comprehensive plan to manage her blood pressure.
