What blood pressure range defines HTN Stage 1?

  1. SBP 130-139 or DBP 80-89

  2. SBP 120-129 and DBP < 80

  3. SBP < 120 and DBP < 80

  4. SBP ≥ 140 or DBP ≥ 90

The correct answer is: SBP 130-139 or DBP 80-89

Normal blood pressure ranges from less than 120 mm Hg systolic and less than 80 mm Hg diastolic. Stage 1 hypertension is defined by either a systolic blood pressure reading of 130-139 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure reading of 80-89 mm Hg. Option B is incorrect because it falls within the normal blood pressure range. Option C is incorrect because it is below the normal range for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Option D is incorrect because it includes a higher blood pressure range for both systolic and diastolic measurements.
