Pharmacologic Management of Hypertension: Advanced Prescribing Practices for APRNs

This 5-contact hour course is designed for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) to strengthen their expertise in the pharmacologic management of hypertension. With a focus on evidence-based prescribing practices, this course covers the mechanisms, selection, titration, and deprescribing of antihypertensive agents. It integrates guidance from current clinical guidelines (ACC/AHA, KDIGO), explores emerging therapies, and addresses resistant hypertension, special populations, and real-world considerations such as cost, adherence, and clinical tool utilization. Through practical, case-driven content, APRNs will enhance their decision-making in complex hypertension care.
