Treatment Plan: The treatment plan should include medication for high blood pressure and diabetes. Indeed, according to some evidence, the long term usage of diuretic antihypertensives to reduce the presence of excess salts in the body can help to lower blood pressure. (Klatt, 1) Given that the subject of this discussion also suffers from an elevated risk of myocardial infarction, the danger of cardiac arrest or general heart failure is of greater concern than the presence of
