The answer to this is letter C. The blood pressure of the patient is at 220/120 mg Hg and this is not normal at all. When the blood pressure reaches that high, the main thing that medical professionals do is to try lessening the blood pressure so that a stroke can be prevented. The fact that it is already that high means that the patient has a very high chance of experiencing this condition.

This type of stroke occurs when a blood vessel ruptures. About half of the people who experience this type of condition die.There are some who do not even reach a hospital anymore because the body’s functions may shut down immediately.

A blood pressure of 220/120 mm Hg.

Uncontrolled hypertension is a risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke, which is a rup- tured blood vessel inside the cranium.
