Case Study Scenario: Mr. Southwick is a 57-year-old alert and oriented male. He is married and lives at home with his wife. He was recently diagnosed with Stage 1 Hypertension and is nervous about managing his own care when he goes home. His wife is at his bedside most of the day and goes home at night to sleep. She plans on cooking him fried chicken and mashed potatoes when he gets home since it is his favorite meal, and he asks for it at least once a week. Mrs. Southwick said, "all that man does is complain about how bland the hospital food is, he adds salt to everything."
