Question

Which describes a situation in which blood pressure is severely elevated and there is evidence of actual or probable target organ damage?

Answer 1

Hypertensive emergency.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a condition that is characterized by extremely high blood pressure. It can be very dangerous, sometimes even deadly. Some of the signs: chest pain that doesn’t seem to stop anytime soon, bad migraines and headaches, followed by confusion and vision impairment. Sometimes a person is nauseous and is vomiting. Lungs don’t function well and it leads to short breaths. Sometimes seizures occur and it’s not rare that a person is unresponsive. This condition damages many organs and it must be treated.
