Which blood pressure (BP)finding during the second trimester indicates a risk for hypertension?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A systolic BP (SBP)of 140 mm Hg or more and a diastolic BP (DBP)of 90 mm Hg or more,based on the average of at least two measurements,suggest the presence of hypertension.A slight increase in BP of 126/85 does not meet the criteria for concern.Although the baseline BP is worrisome (an absolute systolic BP of 140 mm Hg or higher or a diastolic BP of 90 mm Hg or higher suggests hypertension),the subsequent pressures have decreased,not increased.The BP of 110/60 is within normal limits for both values and is not a concern.
