Answer to Question 1

 Remind her of the therapeutic goal you worked on with her.
 Tell her you're proud of her Therapeutic goals are individualized; however, these BP readings are
improved and at the prehypertensive levels, according to the national guidelines. Tell M.P. that
these readings are improving and that you'll pass them on to the physician.
 Review her progress over the past months with her. This is an excellent way to reinforce adherence.
 Remind her of the necessity of adhering to her treatment plan (because she is doing so well) and to
keep checking her BP and taking her medications as directed.
