3. All of the following problems can alter optimal blood pressure collection EXCEPT

4. A patient presents with BP in the office of 125 and diastolic of 72 mmHg. He has no other health conditions.  Other BPs over the month include 131/77, 122/79, 128/79.  One BP from home, however, is 139/88.  The patient has a BMI of 26.9.  The 10-yr CV risk is < 10%.  Your treatment plan is to suggest the patient do all of the below EXCEPT…

8. Blood pressure monitoring is done at home by a patient using a blood pressure monitoring device that you have validated in the office earlier this year. Several readings are brought in for your review with systolic readings 128-139 and diastolic readings of 66-89 at varied times of the day over a three week period.  The blood pressure reading in the office today at your visit is 133/82.  The reading that counts for the Stars quality measure is
