Which condition is NOT a risk factor for the development of stress ulcers?

Coagulopathy
Hypertension
Sepsis
Major burns

The correct answer is: Hypertension

Hypertension is not a risk factor for the development of stress ulcers. Stress ulcers are related to severe physiological stress and are more commonly associated with conditions such as coagulopathy, sepsis, and major burns. While hypertension is a serious medical condition, it is not directly linked to an increased risk of developing stress ulcers. The other options, including coagulopathy, sepsis, and major burns, are known risk factors because they can lead to mucosal damage in the gastrointestinal tract, which predisposes individuals to the development of stress ulcers.
