The nurse practitioner and hypertension control: a pilot study
Abstract:
Hypertension is the major health problem affecting blacks today. Socioecological stress is implicated in areas in which excess mortality exists. The nurse practitioner, whose role has been established in providing medical treatment for hypertension, also has a role in alleviating social stressors. The objective in this study was to determine the nurse practitioner's effectiveness in reducing stress and whether stress reduction resulted in blood pressure reduction. The results indicate that the nurse practitioner's intervention was effective--when patients complied with her suggestions both socioecological stress and blood pressure were significantly reduced.

Blood Pressure
The average BP in an adult is typically around 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). In this measurement, the numerator (120) indicates the systolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries during the contraction of the heart's ventricles as blood is expelled. The denominator (80) represents the diastolic...
