When completing the examination form for a driver with stage 3 hypertension, what is the correct procedure?

When completing the examination form for a driver with stage 3 hypertension, the correct procedure is not to conduct a complete examination again if the driver already has a valid medical certificate. Instead, healthcare providers should assess whether the driver's condition has stabilized and whether they are under appropriate treatment. In the context of stage 3 hypertension, which can be considered a disqualifying condition, the medical examiner may need to verify treatment and assess the driver's fitness to operate a commercial vehicle.

However, as the current situation indicates that the driver has already been certified, the examiner may only need to ensure the most up-to-date information is recorded without repeating the entire examination. If significant changes in medical history or condition arise, those must be documented accordingly, but this does not necessitate a full re-examination unless there are new, concerning symptoms. Therefore, the process primarily focuses on ensuring accuracy and compliance with medical standards without redundantly filling out an entirely new examination form.
