Patient Education Sessions: Conduct individual or group sessions to discuss hypertension and prevention techniques. Educational Materials: Provide brochures, handouts, and online resources that cover the basics of hypertension prevention. Motivational Interviewing: Use this counseling approach to help patients identify and resolve ambivalence about lifestyle changes. Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments can help monitor progress and provide ongoing support.
