An оlder Asiаn-Americаn wоmаn has a blоod pressure of 150/75 mm Hg. Clinic records indicate that 8 months ago, isolated systolic hypertension was diagnosed, and a diuretic and a long-acting calcium channel blocker were prescribed. The HCP asks the nurse to encourage medication compliance and schedule a follow-up appointment in 2 weeks. The nurse notices that the patient has limited English skills. She is polite and frequently nods yes and smiles in response to suggestions and questions, but she seems anxious to leave the clinic. The nurse suggests that a family member attend the next appointment, and the patient agrees. Two weeks later, the patient's BP is 165/80 mm Hg.
