Answer #1

1. First as he is taking ibuprofen so, he should be sent to the endoscopy department to identify for any ulcer presence.

2. Next, as he is having hypertension so blood pressure should be checked as increased bp can be a cause of posterior epistaxis.

3. Next blood test is to be checked- CBC, PT, PTT, CT.
