1. Know, Be, Do

   • Know
     • Knowledge
       • Policies, Confidentiality, Procedures, Mathematics, Anatomy of the Heart, Standards, Hypertension, Healthy Blood Pressure
   • Be
     • Values, Ethics, Beliefs
       • Compassionate, Caring, Listening, Open-Minded, Accepting, Non-judgmental, Respecting
   • Do
     • Perform in this way
       • Documentation/Charting, Empowering, Co-teach, Co-learn, Care plans

2. Discipline and Profession

   • Discipline
     • Knowledge
       • Blood Pressure- Contraction of the heart muscle, which pumps blood through the body, and the resistance of the walls of the vessels through which the blood flows
       • Systolic Blood Pressure- Higher of the two numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats
       • Diastolic Blood Pressure- The lower of the two numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart is resting
       • A blood pressure reading consists of the systolic measurement "over" the diastolic measurement, recorded in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) by a sphygmomanometer
   • Profession
     • Persons educated in the discipline

3. Co-teach and Co-learn

   • Co-teach
     • Electrocardiograms, Heart Sounds, Heart Murmurs, Hypertension, Healthy Blood Pressure, Coronary Artery Disease, Congestive Heart Failure
   • Co-learn
     • Current Cardiac Disorders, Previous Myocardial Infarctions, Baseline Blood Pressure

4. The Ways of Knowing (Empirics, Ethics, Personal, Aesthetics, Emancipatory)

   • Emancipatory- Ability to notice and investigate social injustices
     • Critical reflection of blood pressure reading and social factors affecting accuracy of blood pressure reading
   • Aesthetics- Awareness of the immediate situation including the patients situation and their unique cirumstance
     • Establishing rapport in a nurse-patient relationship and the patient being able to confide in the nurse about factors that may affect blood pressure (nicotine, anxiety)
   • Personal-Knowledge dervived from personal understanding and empathy
     • Understanding that a patient with hypertension may feel frightened at the thought of possible strokes or heart attacks
   • Ethics-Awareness of moral choices and questions (right or wrong)
     • Automatic blood pressure machines are not always accurate and available
   • Empirics-Factural Knowledge from science that can be empirically verified
     • Knowledge of anatomy of the heart, normal blood pressure reading, hypertension, hypotension

5. Nursing Process-ADPIE (Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Intervention, Evaluation)

   • Assessment- Establishing data, validating data, communicating data
   • Diagnosis-Interpreting patient and data,identifying patient health strengths and problems, formulating nursing diagnosis
   • Planning-Selecting nursing measures and communicating care plan
   • Intervention-Carrying out care plan and documenting care given
   • Evaluation- Measuring how well the client has achieved desired goals, identify factors affecting the patient's success or failure, modifying care plan if needed
