Presentation of Approved Intervention to the Patient, Family, or Group

Hypertension was the health problem that I handled for the Capstone project. In this project, I interacted with Mrs. S.J., a 71-year-old-female hypertensive female, and her family. Wenger et al. (2018) showed that hypertension kills 1 in 5 American women and is a severe health burden in women compared to men. Scientists have linked hypertension to a high sodium diet, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor diet, leading to increased mortality rates because of cardiovascular diseases (Kumar et al., 2018). Addressing hypertension among women is essential in improving the life’s quality, decreasing associated mortality rates, decreasing the health expenditure cost, and strengthening patients’ safety.

The health intervention program on Mrs. S.J stressed health education, lifestyle change practice, and home-based blood pressure management. I emphasized and encouraged her to practice the lifestyle change practices: quitting smoking, reducing salt consumption, healthy diet consumption, and regular exercise. The education program on healthy living ensured that the patient was also actively involved in improving her health. Incorporating telehealth and m-health intervention programs into the condition’s management effectively enhanced the monitoring of blood pressure and improved patient communication with the practitioner (Tuckson et al., 2017). It improved the quality of health offered, quality of care provided, and patient safety.
