Question: Margaret's BP was taken during her visit to the GP, potentially exposing her to the 'white coat effect'. How can we get a more realistic measurement of her BP for the diagnosis of hypertension? Question 1 options: a) Her BP was taken lying, sitting and standing, these measurements should be reliable for the diagnosis of hypertension. b) Using ambulatory blood pressure monitors to measure it at regular intervals during her everyday activities. c) Admitting her to a clinic or hospital to measure her BP repeatedly in a controlled environment. d) Asking her to take her own blood pressure just before sleep while sitting on the bed.
