Nicotine contained in tobacco products (smoking and chew)
cause vasoconstriction and increase blood pressure. Persons
with hypertension should restrict sodium to 1500 mg/day by
avoiding foods high in sodium and not adding salt in preparation
of food or at meals. Weight loss can decrease blood pressure
between 5 to 20 mm Hg. Following dietary recommendations
(e.g., the DASH diet) lowers blood pressure, and these
decreases compare with those achieved with blood pressure-
lowering medication.

personnel (UAP) who is taking the blood pressure of
58-yr-old obese female patient admitted with heart
failure. Which action by the UAP will require the nurse
