Abstract

Pregnancy-induced hypertension(gestational hypertension) is a condition characterized by elevated blood pressure levels during pregnancy, typically occurring after the 20th week of gestation which is manifested as either gestational hypertension alone or as a more severe form known as preeclampsia. Imogene King's Goal Attainment Theory (GAT) is a nursing theory that emphasizes the importance of mutual goal setting between the nurse and the patient to achieve optimal health outcomes. Imogene King’s Goal-Attainment Nursing Theory helps imply the Nursing intervention package such as monitoring blood pressure, Monitoring edema, Monitoring salt-reduced diet, Stress management, Rest, Regular exercise, Antihypertensivedrugs, and assessment of Fetal heart rate to prevent and manage the PIH successfully.
