Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following diastolic values defines Stage 2 Hypertension?

80-89

Stage 2 Hypertension is defined by a diastolic blood pressure reading of 90 mm Hg or higher. This condition indicates more severe high blood pressure that typically requires medication and intervention to manage.

The value range of 80-89 mm Hg represents Stage 1 Hypertension, which is characterized by slightly elevated blood pressure but not severe enough to be classified as Stage 2. Thus, the correct classification for Stage 2 Hypertension is any diastolic reading of 90 mm Hg or greater.

Additionally, a reading below 60 mm Hg does not indicate hypertension; rather, it might suggest low blood pressure (hypotension). A reading of 120 or higher refers to systolic blood pressure, which in conjunction with a high diastolic reading would signify more serious hypertension but does not directly define Stage 2 itself.
