AAMA CMA Practice Question

During a routine checkup, a 45-year-old patient's blood pressure reading is 118/76 mmHg. What does the medical assistant correctly infer about the patient's cardiovascular system based on this result?

  • The measurement indicates a normal blood pressure, suggesting the heart and arteries are functioning properly.

  • The reading indicates significantly reduced pressure, suggesting the patient may be experiencing hypotension.

  • The systolic value indicates a need to assess the patient for potential bradycardia.

  • The measurement suggests the patient is at immediate risk of a hypertensive crisis and requires urgent intervention.
