A middle-aged patient has a follow up visit for a recorded blood pressure of 162/96 mm
Hg taken 3 weeks ago. The patient has no significant past medical history and takes no
medications, but smokes 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes per day, drinks alcohol regularly, and
exercises infrequently. The patient is about 40 lbs. overweight and admits to a high-fat,
high-calorie diet. At the office visit today, the patient's blood pressure is 150/92 mm Hg.
What is the least appropriate intervention for this patient at this time? - ✔✔Begin anti-
hypertensive drug therapy

✔✔Dramatic hypotension sometimes accompanies type I hypersensitivity reactions
because:
A. toxins released into the blood interfere with cardiac function.
B. anaphylaxis results in large volume losses secondary to sweating
C. massive histamine release from mast cells leads to vasodilation
D. hypoxia due to bronchoconstriction impairs cardiac function - ✔✔c. massive
histamine release from mast cells leads to vasodilation
