Question

Working at a health fair, you screen a participant who presents with a blood pressure reading of 190/110 mm Hg. She tells you she has a history of hypertension, but she does not like to take pills. “My mother kept us well without medications, and when she died, she was on at least 10 different medications. I just don’t trust a system that hands out pills for every little thing.” As you consider this case, use the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model.
