dc.description.abstract | Non-communicable diseases are a trend and a current health issue, one of which is
hypertension. Hypertension is referred to as The Silent Killer (silent killer),
because sufferers do not know they have hypertension to cause serious health
problems and even death. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition
where the systolic blood pressure is ≥140 mmHg and the diastolic pressure is ≥90
mmHg. One of the efforts to control blood pressure in hypertensive patients is to
adopt a healthy lifestyle and comply with taking medication. Management of diet,
physical activity, consumption of fruits, not smoking, maintaining sleep patterns
and adherence to taking regular medication are effective for controlling blood
pressure as an effort to prevent complications of hypertension. The purpose of this
senior practicum is to apply nursing theories and concepts in managing and
providing nursing care to people with hypertension. Clients in this senior
practicum are hypertension sufferers who are in the Working Area of the Medan
Sunggal Health Center. Assessment and pretest were carried out in the form of
blood pressure values. Then do the post test. The results of senior practice showed
that there was a change in blood pressure before that was 145 mmHg, after that
was 140 mmHg. It is recommended for nurses to continue to encourage people,
especially people with hypertension, to always pay attention to proper diet, do
physical activity and adhere to taking medication regularly. Clients in this senior
