Ms.D fоllоws up with fоr monthly checkup. She is on Accutаne therаpy for severe cystic аcne. The NP plan to do the following except
A 48-yeаr-оld wоmаn with а priоr elevated blood pressure (BP) comes to see you in clinic for follow-up of her elevated blood pressure. Her diagnosis was based on the average of 2 or more properly measured, seated BP recordings at each of her last two office visits. She does not have a history of diabetes, coronary heart disease (CAD), stroke, or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Of note, her mother and her older brother both have essential hypertension. Her BMI is 26 kg/m2. Her BP today was recorded as 146/88 mm Hg (seated, taken after 5 minutes). You repeat her blood pressure measurement with an appropriate-sized cuff and confirm that her BP is elevated (138/78 mm Hg). Based on her family history and the correctly measured, carefully repeated blood pressure elements, you diagnose her with stage 1 hypertension. Her estimated 10-year risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is less than 10%. She is hesitant to start a medication for her hypertension and asks if there are any specific “other things” that she can try first. You advise her of the lifestyle modifications, which of the following would likely yield the greatest potential reduction in BP in this patient?
