Well, not necessarily. It depends on how they were taken. E.g., if the higher ones were all taken by an automated cuff, but properly performed manual ones were consistently normal, then you do not have the bp criteria met. Even if they were all done correctly, but, say, 9/10 were normal, with 1/10 popping up just over the threshold, I'd still have a hard time saying that her bp is elevated. > Based on what you've heard, her diagnosis is: > 1.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
