Greetings! I am Brianna, an experienced nurse. Today, I will discuss the results of our health promotion plan for Hudson. The objective of my assessment is Hypertension (HTN), characterized by consistently elevated Blood Pressure (BP) and linked to various health complications. HTN causes multiple complications, such as heart attacks, cardiovascular disorders, brain hemorrhages, and renal failure.
The rising prevalence of sedentary behavior, physical inactivity, consumption of alcohol, and high sodium intake are significant variables for HTN. In the United States (US), approximately 76 million people, one in every three Americans, are diagnosed with HTN per year. It is a significant factor in mortality rates, causing over 427,632 deaths (Ozemek et al., 2020).
The educational session for Hudson will concentrate on lifestyle modifications related to HTN, emphasizing high sodium intake, alcohol consumption, smoking, and other unhealthy habits. It seeks to address social, mental, and physical health issues. Coping strategies include therapy, counseling, and encouraging open communication. The workshop aims to lessen community challenges by promoting education, awareness, and direct interaction (Ozemek et al., 2020). The presentation focuses on improving Hudson’s well-being due to unhealthy habits.
The Plan Based on Specific, Identified Health Needs and Goals
HTN is linked with severe problems such as renal failure, heart attacks, and strokes. It also increases the probability of developing diabetes, memory decline, and vision loss. It significantly impacts Hudson’s physical, social, and mental well-being. The diagnosis and treatment of HTN emphasize early detection and effective management. In the US, nicotine use, drinking alcohol, unhealthy eating, and inactive routines cause HTN. It increases BP, contributes to obesity, and damages blood vessels (Schutte et al., 2021).
Lifestyle modifications, including smoking cessation, healthier eating habits, and increased physical activity, are crucial for the management of HTN. The plan addresses the social and mental stress associated with alcohol and smoking in Hudson. Its objectives include executing targeted instructive sessions to scatter misunderstandings. It promotes efficient collaboration and establishes networks through public workshops and changes in treatment strategies for BP. The strategy intends to cooperate with relevant administrations to encourage healthy lifestyles and provide therapy facilities to Hudson (Balwan & Kour, 2021).

Regular community gatherings foster empowerment and awareness about HTN risks and prevention strategies. Evaluation methods, such as community well-being drives and official visits to the public resource center on HTN, increased the knowledge about the harmful effects of unhealthy habits. An inclusive educational program on HTN supports Hudson in making dietary habits and lifestyle modifications. Utilizing practical situations and educational platforms such as webinars, expert-led conferences, and workshops engages participants effectively (Zhao et al., 2020).
Unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking and alcohol consumption are linked to HTN. It is the leading cause of many health complications, such as diabetes, heart attacks, and kidney failure. Educational training sessions for Hudson face challenges associated with changing unhealthy habits, such as consuming large amounts of sodium, smoking, and alcohol. There are many challenges in encouraging long-term behavior change and following treatment plans. The main goals include precisely distributing information about healthy eating habits, cultural competency training, and peer-led initiatives (Tharakan et al., 2024).
Support group training and simulated exercises assist Hudson in managing his BP. Community events encourage participation, and ongoing assessment through surveys ensures program flexibility and success. It fosters knowledge, understanding, and stronger social connections. To improve mental stress associated with HTN, nurses and doctors cooperate with Hudson, supporting him in planning and accomplishing SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-limited). These proposals promote community equity and update management processes (Tharakan et al., 2024).
SMART Goals of Health Promotion Plan
Hudson will take part in a health promotion plan that focuses on healthy lifestyle habits, quitting smoking and alcohol, and improving mental health in our community.
