First mainly involved in blood pressure monitoring, the role of nurses as educator has become a key component of blood pressure control. Today nurses and nurse practitioners are involved in all aspects of hypertension care from detection, prevention, diagnosis, management to follow up. They are involved in management of hypertension clinics and public health strategies development and implementation.
