Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Over 20-30 years, atheromatous plaques (stenotic lesions) form at branchings and curves in the cerebral circulation, primarily the arteries, not in veins, near the sphincters, or in the venous si-nuses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The most likely contributing factor to the patient's stroke is that he has diabetes with a fourfold increase in stroke incidence and an eightfold increase in stroke mortality. Age greater than 65 years is contributing factor. Men are affected, but for the 30-year-old, his type 2 diabetes mellitus contributes to a fourfold increase in stroke incidence and an eightfold increase in stroke mortali-ty. Blacks are affected more than whites, and it is this patient's diabetes that places him at risk.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
