A 70 year aged patient with epistaxis,patient is hypeension with BP=200/100 mm Hg. On examination no active bleeding noted, next step of management is:: (A) observation, (B) Internal maxillary aery ligation, (C) Anterior and posterior nasal pack, (D) Anterior nasal pack
Answer is A. We do not need any reference to answer this paicular question as the answer is hiddeb in the question only. The question itself says that no active bleeding is seen-so no need to do anything just observe the patient and because his BP is 200/100 Hg which is quite high,give him antihypeensive drugs.
