Case Overview
Jane Smith, a 56-year-old female, presents to a primary care clinic for a
follow-up visit to recheck her blood pressure after elevated readings
(148/92 mmHg) were noted one month ago. The i-Human simulation
for NRNP 6512 (Week 7) is designed to develop advanced health
assessment skills, requiring learners to gather a detailed history,
perform a targeted physical exam, formulate a differential diagnosis for
persistent hypertension, order appropriate diagnostic tests, and
develop an evidence-based, patient-centered management plan. This
case emphasizes clinical decision-making, patient communication, risk
stratification, and integration of modern diagnostic tools available in
2025.
