What nursing diagnosis should I use for a patient with hypertension?
It depends on what your assessment actually shows, which is why there is no single correct answer. Common ones include ineffective health maintenance, deficient knowledge, risk for decreased cardiac output and excess fluid volume. Choose from your own data rather than from a list, because the grader checks that your evidence supports the diagnosis you picked.
This comes up on Med Surg Nursing Care Plan Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
