NURS FPX 4055 Assessment 4 Health Promotion Plan Presentation Student Name NURS-FPX4055 Capella University Professor Name Submission Date   Slide: 1 I am called _ and this is a presentation on the Prevention and Management of Hypertension in the elderly population of Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. They will learn about screening for blood pressure, community resources, risk factors for hypertension, checking blood pressure, eating healthily and lowering sodium, exercise and following medication. Slide: 2 Health Promotion Plan Presentation This is a feasible health promotion plan that can help in educating the Greensboro older adults on how to prevent and control hypertension. This session will sensitise the people to the problem of hypertension and complications of hypertension and make them think of changing their health through healthy behaviours and making it a priority to manage themselves. Capability perseverance education can improve the knowledge and maintenance of individuals’ healthier being with hypertension (Kalu et al., 2023). The participants will be taught the value of checking blood pressure, eating well, managing sodium intake, physical activities, taking their prescribed medications and regular visits to the health care facilities. Hypertension management barriers such as transportation, financial, cultural, and health literacy barriers will also be included in the plan. The general objective is to boost self-esteem and confidence among the participants in their power to monitor and control BP and utilise community resources. Slide 3: Scenario Alexander James, 52, a community member, will be representative of an adult at risk for problems related to hypertension for the educational session. The lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating habits and lack of visits to health care providers are factors that limit the extent of healthy lifestyle behaviour in Alexander. He is aware that, exceeding to uncontrolled, high blood pressure is a big trouble to him, but he needs to find a solution to incorporate high blood pressure into his already busy life. During the session, Alexander will be educated on the risk factors of hypertension and learn to measure a blood pressure reading, nutrition and healthier food choices and will develop a health action plan for his 30-day session. In addition, obstacles to his following the recommendations will be addressed, which might be monetary, travel, cultural and health-literacy issues that he might encounter. Slide: 4 Evaluation of Educational Session Outcomes and Health Goals Evaluation to assess level of knowledge, skill and confidence towards hypertension management will be made through the educational session. The awareness regarding the risk factors, complications, awareness of hypertension and prevention of hypertension would be assessed as a pre and post enquiry session. The participants will also be conversant with lifestyle changes along with the 30-day plan of action. This will be demonstrated to ascertain the possibility of beneficial influence of structured health education in hypertension-self-management and health behaviour (Adzitey et al., 2026). This ongoing process of evaluation helps ensure that the educational content remains responsive to participants’ evolving understanding. They will be evaluated on how they use the information in a blood pressure monitoring demonstration /teach back session. The feedback that participants will give will indicate whether there exist some non-comfortable blocks within the session which should be mitigated with an additional demonstration or 1:1 addressing. These methods will be used to ascertain whether health goals that were agreed upon during the session were met and what to improve to be better in future health goals sessions. Slide: 5  SMART Goal 1: To create awareness about hypertension and its risk factors There is also the need to enhance the hypertension awareness levels of participants, its causes, complications and risk factors – this will be the first SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) objective. Specifically, the participants will be informed about the effects of hypertension among the aged people, and the necessity of regular blood pressure measurements. The objective is quantifiable because, at the end of the session, the percentage of participants getting the post-session questions right will be quantified, and this will be used as a measure of improved knowledge; A percentage cutoff of 85 or higher will be used. Can be done through visual presentation, educational handouts, discussion and Q & A activity. Greater knowledge is applicable since it might encourage participants to embrace risk factors and existing screening and care. The results indicate that patient education interventions have the potential to increase hypertension awareness and habits to control it (Kalam et al., 2025). The evaluation of progress will be done at the end of the session and after 30 days. Slide: 6  SMART Goal 2: Promote healthy lifestyle behaviors The second SMART goal is to encourage participants to seek healthy behaviours that can lead to the prevention and/or treatment of hypertension. There will be practical tips taught to participants regarding the necessity of exercise, changes in diet, intake of food with lower sodium content, intake of medications and regular blood pressure check-ups. A measurable goal is that at least 80% of the participants who attend the workshop will clarify which life changes are to be made and that a personal action plan has been worked out for the last 30 days. The older adult will be able to achieve and attain the goal through the use of handouts, visual presentation and discussion of community resources. The behaviours that are described are pertinent as they are crucial to decreasing the risk of cardiovascular events and because they contribute to blood pressure control. Lifestyle modification is a part of the prevention and treatment of hypertension, as evidenced by research (Elmakki 2024). The 30 days will be spent reviewing progress, which will be done in terms of action plans and follow-up discussions with participants. Slide: 7  SMART Goal 3: To build confidence in the use of community resources The third SMART goal is to boost participants’ confidence around self-monitoring their blood pressure and community resources available to them. The participants will be able to know how to take a blood pressure reading and to identify at least 2 resources that will assist in healthcare,
