DESIRED OUTCOME2. List the goals of treatment for this px:a) Reduce cardiovascular disease morbidity and
mortalityb) Reduce renal morbidity and mortalityc) Treat to BP <130/90 mmHg in patients with
diabetes or chronic kidney disease
![Page 28: HYPERTENSION SAMPLE CASE](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062306/587301d31a28ab99088b4793/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Therapeutic Alternatives3.a. What lifestyle modifications should be encouraged for this patient to achieve and maintain adequate blood pressure reduction?
![Page 29: HYPERTENSION SAMPLE CASE](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062306/587301d31a28ab99088b4793/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
3.b. What reasonable pharmacotherapeutic options are available for controlling this patient’s blood pressure, and what co-morbidities and individual patient considerations should be taking into account when selecting pharmacologic therapy for his HTN? How might Mr. Street’s HTN medications potentially affect his other medical problems?• Triamterene / HCTZ• To treat water retention or high blood pressure• Reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing the
flow of urine, which helps lower the blood pressure.• Doxazosin• Alpha blocker
![Page 30: HYPERTENSION SAMPLE CASE](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062306/587301d31a28ab99088b4793/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
4.a. Outline specific lifestyle modifications for this patient?• Weight loss of as little as 10 lbs (4.5 kg)• Exercise• Stretching• Walking• Stationary Bike• Leg Extensions• Exercise Diaphragm (COPD)• Chair Dance• Breathe right for Better Results
• Low Sodium Diet• Instead for MSG, Salt and the like, replace it with other
seasonings (pepper, garlic, herbs and lemon are good choices.)
![Page 31: HYPERTENSION SAMPLE CASE](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062306/587301d31a28ab99088b4793/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
• Diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products with reduced content of dietary cholesterol as well as saturated and total fat
• Dietary sodium should be reduced to no more than 100 mmol per day (2.4g)
• Alcohol intake should be limited to no more than 1 oz (30ml) per day or if possibly alcohol intake can be halted for certain period of time.
![Page 32: HYPERTENSION SAMPLE CASE](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062306/587301d31a28ab99088b4793/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
4.b. Outline a specific and appropriate pharmacotherapeutic regimen for this patient’s uncontrolled hypertension, including drugs, doses, dosage form, and schedule.
Drugs Dose Dosage Form Schedule
Triamterene /HCTZ
37.5mg/25mg
Tablet (Oral) Once daily every morning
Doxazosin 2mg Tablet (Oral) Once daily every morning after an hour taking Triamterene/ HCTZ
![Page 33: HYPERTENSION SAMPLE CASE](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062306/587301d31a28ab99088b4793/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
5. Based on your recommendations, what parameters should be monitored after initiating this regimen and throughout the treatment course? At what time intervals should these parameters be monitored?• Patient should return for follow-up and adjustment of
medications at monthly intervals or less until BP goal is reached.
• More frequent visits for stage 2 HTN or with complicating comorbid conditions
• Serum potassium and creatinine should be monitored 1 – 2 per year
• After BP at goal and stable, follow-up at 3-6 months intervals• Comorbidities, such as heart failure, associated diseases, such
as diabetes, and the need for laboratory tests influence the frequency of visits
![Page 34: HYPERTENSION SAMPLE CASE](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062306/587301d31a28ab99088b4793/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
6. Based on your recommendations, provide appropriate education to this patient.• Assess patient’s understanding and acceptance of the diagnosis of
hypertension• Discuss patient’s concerns and clarify misunderstandings• Tell patient the BP reading and provide written copy• Come to agreement with the patient on goal BP• Ask patient to rate (1 to 10) his chance of staying on treatment• Inform patient about recommended treatment and provide specific
written information about the role of lifestyle including diet, physical activity, dietary supplements, and alcohol intake.
• Use standard brochures when available.• Elicit concerns and questions and provide opportunities for the patient
to state specific behaviors to carry out treatment recommendations• Emphasize:
• Need to continue treatment• Control does not mean cure• One cannot tell if BP is elevated by feeling or symptoms• BP must be measured
![Page 35: HYPERTENSION SAMPLE CASE](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062306/587301d31a28ab99088b4793/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
