NURS FPX 6080 Assessment 3 Person-Centered Self-Care Management Interview and Video Presentation
Effective chronic disease management requires patient-centered approaches that empower individuals to take responsibility for their health. Motivational interviewing (MI) is one such technique (Bischof et al., 2021).
Identified Client
His blood pressure is still not within normal levels, with an average of 150/95 mmHg, putting him at risk for cardiovascular complications. While he voices alarm at the potential long-term complications of uncontrolled hypertension, he admits to forgetting his medications a few times a week and being challenged to make stable changes in diet.
Strategies to Promote and Foster Caring Relationships
Encouraging and establishing caring relationships is core to attaining optimal health outcomes, especially for clients with chronic conditions like hypertension.Building rapport enabled us to collaboratively construct specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART) goals that matched his readiness to change, thus enhancing shared decision-making.
Strategies for Facilitating Difficult Conversations and Disclosure of Sensitive Information
I used parts of the model during my interview with Mr. James H by first establishing a confidential and non-judgmental setting, followed by inquiring about his perception of managing his hypertension. I validated his irritations with medication compliance while respectfully leading him towards an awareness of the health consequences of untreated hypertension.

Current and Emerging Technology Useful for Client in Achieving Self-Care Management
Emerging and current technologies have an integral role in helping clients such as Mr. James to achieve effective management of self-care for hypertension.
Counseling Techniques to Advance Wellness and Self-Care Management
Mr. James to create SMART goals, including the use of a medication reminder app every day and tracking his blood pressure three times weekly, MI enhances self-care by supporting realistic and attainable behavior change.
Evaluating Adequacy of Resources Available to Support Self-Care Management
This assessment will integrate process measures (how often technology has been used, compliance with SMART objectives) and outcome measures (control of blood pressure, decrease in missed doses).

Conclusion
Motivational interviewing in combination with individualized goal setting and supportive technologies holds much potential for the facilitation of self-care management among clients with chronic conditions like hypertension. Through caring relationships, empathetic handling of sensitive topics, and individualized resources addressing the client’s specific needs, providers can ensure equity as well as desirable outcomes in health.
