Blood pressure checks in children:
1. Should occur with their annual physical examinations after 6 years of age
2. Require a blood pressure cuff that is one-third the diameter of the child's arm
, 3. Should be done during every health-care visit after 3 years of age
4. Require additional laboratory tests such as serum creatinine
3. Should be done during every health-care visit after 3 years of age
Lack of adherence to blood pressure management is very common. Reasons for this lack of
adherence include:
1. Lifestyle changes are difficult to achieve and maintain.
2. Adverse drug reactions are common and often fall into the categories more associated with
nonadherence.
3. Costs of drugs and monitoring with laboratory tests can be expensive.
