We will write a custom paper specifically for you.
A 43-year-old man presents to the clinic you work at for a follow-up blood pressure check accompanied by his 9-year-old daughter. He is noted to still have hypertension (high blood pressure). The physician prescribes an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.
a. The 9-year-old daughter asks you how this medication works. How would you explain this to her in a way she can understand?
b. What might be other suggestions (besides medications) you would make to this patient to help him decrease his blood pressure? Why?
