Answer to Question 1

4
Although all are major causes of traumatic brain injury, motor vehicle crashes account for 20 of all traumatic brain injuries. Reasons for motor vehicle accidents causing the most traumatic brain injuries include not wearing seat belts and driving while intoxicated.

Answer to Question 2

2
Medications like tPA should be given within 60 minutes of the client's arrival to the emergency department. This is why health care teams must have a plan to deal with stroke clients quickly and efficiently.
