Question

A single measurement of elevated blood pressure may not warrant medication or additional investigations, so scheduling an additional measurement in a few weeks to confirm the blood pressure is consistently elevated is appropriate. If the elevated blood pressure persists, further investigations and/or medication can be considered. Choices A, B, and D may be appropriate depending on the patient's individual situation, but are not necessarily the best initial interventions.
