Applying ACC/AHA <130/80 universally — CNPLE uses Hypertension Canada which starts at <140/90
HC BP target: <140/90 (most). <130/80 (high-risk). ACE+ARB = NEVER. SGLT-2 = stop pre-surgery. Step 2 DM: GLP-1 or SGLT-2 for CVD/CKD. Chlorthalidone > HCTZ.
CNPLE exam: Hypertension Canada guidelines, Canadian Diabetes Association treatment targets, stepped therapy approach, cardiovascular risk reduction, NP monitoring protocols, and Canadian formulary prescribing for chronic disease management.
For Chronic Disease, connect the assessment cue to the immediate risk before selecting an action for NP. Start with stability, ABCs, neurologic change, medication risk, infection risk, and scope of practice. Then decide whether the safest next step is assess, intervene, escalate, teach, or evaluate response.

A missed priority in Chronic Disease can delay recognition of deterioration or allow preventable harm to continue. Safety focus: HC BP target: <140/90 (most). <130/80 (high-risk). ACE+ARB = NEVER. SGLT-2 = stop pre-surgery. Step 2 DM: GLP-1 or SGLT-2 for CVD/CKD. Chlorthalidone > HCTZ.
In a Chronic Disease item, explain the first cue you noticed, the complication it predicts, the nursing action within scope, and the finding that proves the response worked.
Applying ACC/AHA <130/80 universally — CNPLE uses Hypertension Canada which starts at <140/90 This keeps Chronic Disease reasoning tied to client safety instead of recall-only studying.
Review this topic against the current pathway blueprint or test plan, facility policy, medication monographs, and current clinical practice guidance. NurseNest content is educational and should be reconciled with local protocols and provider orders.
