Case Overview
Jane Smith, a 56-year-old female, presents to the primary care clinic for
a follow-up visit to recheck her blood pressure after being diagnosed
with elevated readings one month ago. The i-Human simulation for
NRNP 6512 (Week 7) challenges learners to perform a comprehensive
health assessment, including a detailed history, targeted physical exam,
development of a differential diagnosis for persistent hypertension,
ordering appropriate diagnostic tests, and creating a patient-centered
management plan. The case emphasizes clinical reasoning, patient
communication, and application of evidence-based guidelines for
hypertension management.
