Positive short response with basic words

Start by reassuring her that her concern is valid, especially given her family history, but explain that a single elevated reading doesn't confirm hypertension. Recheck her blood pressure after she rests and ensure proper technique. Document the reading and encourage follow-up monitoring, either in the clinic or with home/ambulatory devices. Take a full history to assess for other cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking, diet, activity, and metabolic issues. If her blood pressure remains elevated, begin lifestyle counseling and consider further cardiovascular risk assessment. Address modifiable risk factors early due to her family history. Provide education on the importance of blood pressure control. Schedule follow-up to track trends over time. Refer to a specialist if secondary causes or complications are suspected.
