According to the Nursing Practice Act (NPA), nurses must provide safe, appropriate, and responsive quality nursing practice and develop a plan for nursing practice. To achieve these objectives, nurses have to implement and recognize the nursing practices and act to improve the treatment and comply with practice requirements (Carthon et al., 2019).

Nurses should advocate for better care for the patients ensure they have the information to with the information they need. Nurses should educate patients on the impact of salty and fried foods on their health. They should also advocate for the creation of public policies which prevent and ensure appropriate treatment for hypertension.

The organizational culture significantly impacts patient care (Wei et al., 2021). A healthier organizational culture will ensure positive patient outcomes such as reduced mortality and length of stay. It will also improve the patients’ quality of life and decrease pain levels. The organization culture should support nurses’ efforts of educating patients and providing evidence-based treatment.
