This shows at least 5 diamonds, 4 hearts, and extra values.

What your partner should do is double for take-out, if suitable, otherwise pass.

That sounds like a balanced hand doesnt it?

with 12-14 bal u pass
with 15-17 u would have opened 1NT
with 20-21 u would have opened 2NT
with 22+ u would have opened 2♣

So the remaining zone is 18-19 bal for this situation (classical systems would use 16-18 and 21-22 and 23+, then 19-20). with a club stop 2NT is right. without one X should do the trick waiting for p to show a stopper.

I hope this helped.

Agree.

Also agree with mr1303 that 2H bid shows at least 5-4 in the red suits.

The number of 4-5 hands that reopen with 2♥ are few and far between.

Assuming reopener doesn't have short spades, and doesn't want to make a flawed 1N rebid on a 3=4=5=1, there aren't 4-5's many left.

I suppose xxx, AKQx, AKQxx, x qualifies, but I'd just assume double and pull 2 (or 3) ♣'s to 2/3♦'s.

Balanced 18-19's reopen with 1N.

2♥ more commonly shows a 5-6, and thats what I'd expect.

I guess you saw 1♥-(1♠), whereas it was actually 2♣.
