High blood pressure is often called a silent killer because it usually has no warnings, and patients don’t realize they have hypertension. The silent nature of the disease only makes patients and their families monitor blood pressure more regularly and carefully.
The main goal of a home health clinician is to educate patients and their relatives, give advice and monitor the blood pressure readings. Patients should be educated about their diet, weight, physical activity, smoke, alcohol intake, etc.
