The patient's blood pressure is 152/92 but the primary health care provider does not diagnose the patient with hypertension. What is the rationale for this decision?

The patient's blood pressure must remain elevated during several separate assessments in order to make a diagnosis of hypertension.

The patient appeared extremely stressed and the health care provider decided not to inform the patient of the diagnosis at that appointment.

The patient's primary health care provider must consult with a cardiologist in order to make a diagnosis of hypertension

The patient's blood pressure must be at least 180/100 during a single assessment in order for a diagnosis of hypertension to be made.
