The document outlines an assessment, diagnosis, goals of care, interventions, rationale, and evaluation for a patient presenting with decreased cardiac output related to increased body weight. Short term goals include the patient verbalizing relief and displaying stable vital signs after 2 hours of nursing interventions. Long term goals include the patient participating in activities to reduce blood pressure and weight after 1 week. The interventions include establishing rapport, monitoring vitals, providing a calm environment, activity restrictions, comfort measures, relaxation techniques, dietary changes, and evaluating anti-hypertensive drugs. The overall rationale is to help lessen symptoms and promote lifestyle changes to manage hypertension.
