Because u only mentioned 2 readings in the question.( The initial visit, and rouitine f/u one..the question should be more clear).And also when i read the question, i thought doc should have tried life style mangement first(according to guidelines from uptodate.com) . Furthermore, according to jnc7 which i got it from uptodate.com, htn is based upon avg of two or more properly readings at each of two or more visits after initial screen.
