DefineApproved Patient Scenario

38-years old Mary visited the outpatient clinic for his routine scheduled regarding her conception. The nurse realized that her blood pressure has increased based on her previous records, she drinks about 10-12units of alcohol but does not smoke. On examination her blood pressure was 158/94mmHg whilst her heart rate is 72 beats per minute and regular. She has not been diagnosed with hypertension before, so she does not use any antihypertensive medications. Based on Mary’s situation, it means that all her historical data have been accounted for and any doctor can treat her. Having that in mind, the following steps will be how to use the Blood Pressure log-MyDiary app to help manage or keep track of the blood pressure values.

Identify Teaching Areas

· Explain every topic in a manner that will be well understood, that uses the layman way on the healthy app, this brings them closer to you and starts feeling better.

· Demonstrate in workshops, seminars, have recorded videos to show them, have witnesses who have benefited from the same app.

· Manual should be provided to the patient, with every explanation given in simplicity, proper directions should also be given as well.

· Every visit has new information about the patient’s lifestyle, which makes patient learn more and become very careful with the activities they engage in.

· Using a mobile app for self-management purposes could make it easier for patients with hypertension to have insight into and control their blood pressure (Jamaladin et al., 2018)

· Update on new information can be provided on a new manual to keep the patient track on every visit.

· Guidelines regarding update are provided in writing or in a form of pictures.

· Safety:
