A member asked:

What is the reason why a nurse aide will insist on a person's blood pressure when it is known to the office there is existing white coat hypertension?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BP : In general offices have set protocols for the staff to follow. These are established to try and minimize errors and make sure certain data bits are acquired on every patient.
