SN completed all education for this SNV, and reminded patient on the importance of going to all medical appointments, bringing blood pressure log and all of his/her medications. Patient/Caregiver verbalized understanding.
SN instructed patient and caregiver on how to stop a nosebleed. Make a thumbs up with hand on same side as nose bleed. Press side of nose that is bleeding closed and tilt head slightly down to prevent blood from going down into throat. Stay still for 5-10 minutes then gently release. Refrain from blowing nose or putting a tissue in nose x 24 hours. If bleeding does not stop seek medical attention.
