Abstract
The identified problem is high blood pressure (HBP) in grownups. Roughly 67 million persons – one in three adults – in America has HBP and only approximately 47 percent of these persons have their HBP condition under control. To address the problem, the proposed solution is for people to be engaged more in physical activities and doing exercises such as swimming, biking, running, jogging, and brisk walking to reduce their blood pressure. For those with hypertension, doing regular exercises could actually help in controlling this ailment. Regular exercises such as jogging and biking walking have been proven to lower a person’s high blood pressure. In evaluating the proposed solution, it would be would be seen as effective if the blood pressure of the patients who regularly engage in physical exercises drops to normal levels. It would also be seen as effective if it helps the patients to manage their body weight and keep fit. Otherwise, it would be seen as ineffective. Disseminating the findings of this research project will be through publication in well-known journals such as Nature Journal, JAMA, Science Journal, and the New England Journal of Medicine. Through the publication of the research results in such renowned medical journals, the wider nursing community and the key stakeholders will be able to access it. In addition, a website will be created in which the findings of this research would be disseminated to the key stakeholders and the wider nursing community. Conferences and forums will also be held to discuss the findings and disseminate the results.

1.0 Problem Description
The identified problem is high blood pressure (HBP) in grownups. Grownups are defined as persons who are aged 18 years and above. High Blood Pressure is understood as a serious condition which can bring about kidney failure, stroke, failure of the heart, and coronary heart infection, in addition to other health complications (Jorge & Paula, 2012). Blood pressure in essence, refers to the force of blood which thrusts against the artery walls as blood is pumped by the heart. If this particular pressure stays high over a period of time or increases, it can actually result in damaging of the body in several ways. Roughly 67 million persons – one in three adults – in America has HBP and only approximately 47 percent of these persons have their HBP condition under control (O’Connell, 2014). Since this disease usually has no any warning symptoms or signs, quite a lot of people have it and are not even aware of it hence sometimes it has been referred to as the silent killer.
The settings where high blood pressure can be observed are the primary care settings that focus on caring for adults with this condition. In essence, high blood pressure has been proven as having a substantial impact on the work environment, the quality of care that health professional provide, as well as patient outcomes. According to Jorge and Paula (2012), persons with high blood pressure need long-term care and have to be closely watched in order to identify if they are receiving...
