The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge of persons with hypertension in a selected geographical area regarding cardiovascular risk factors in order to make recommendations for patient education. A quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive study was done in the form of a survey using a questionnaire as measuring instrument. The population was hypertensive patients from selected private medical practices in the western part of KwaZulu-Natal and the bordering eastern part of the Free State. Convenience sampling was used and 46 respondents participated in the study. Only 16 (35%) of the respondents achieved a percentage on or above the competency indicator of 50%. Respondents performed worst in questions where definitions, for example hypertension, were assessed. Recommendations for a patient education document, nursing practice and further research were made
