Review Question - QID 104061

A 58-year-old male presents to his primary care physician for a check-up. He reports that he visited an urgent care clinic last week for seasonal allergies; he was instructed at that encounter to follow-up with his primary care doctor because his blood pressure measured at that time was 162/88. He denies any bothersome symptoms and reports that he feels well overall. The patient denies any past history of medical problems other than cholecystitis that was surgically treated over 30 years ago. On further probing through review of symptoms, the patient reports that he often feels 'shaky' when performing tasks; he reports that his hands shake whenever he attempts to eat or drink something and also when he writes. Vital signs obtained at the visit are as follows: T 37.2 C, HR 88, BP 154/96, RR 20, SpO2 98%. A second blood pressure reading 10 minutes after the first set of vitals shows a blood pressure of 150/94. Physical examination is overall unremarkable and does not reveal a resting tremor in either hand; however, when the patient is asked to pick up a pen to fill out insurance paperwork, you note a fine shaking in his right hand. Which of the following is the next best step in the management of this patient?
