Kay W Klymko et al. Medsurg Nurs. 2008 Dec.

Abstract

The Fuld Object Memory Evaluation and MacNeill Lichtenberg Decision Tree are useful screening tools to detect cognitive impairments that may be associated with difficulty in hypertension-related self-care and blood pressure outcomes. The results of a pilot study exploring the effect of cognition on hypertension-related self-care and blood pressure outcomes among African-American elders are described.
