For certification and recertification exams of drivers who have high blood pressure, an examiner must do which of the following?
  1. Check pulse rate, strength, and rhythm
  2. Measure blood pressure
  3. Perform a stress test
  4. Confirm BP greater than 139/89 with a second measurement taken later during the examination
Explanation
Answer: C - Perform a stress test

This is the correct response because a medical examiner is not required to perform a stress test. A blood pressure test is an essential component of the medical exam. In the event that a driver has high blood pressure, a medical examiner must check pulse rate, strength, and rhythm; measure blood pressure; and confirm blood pressure greater than 139/89 with a second measurement taken later during the examination.
