Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The individuals at highest risk for cerebrovascular accident are blacks over 65 years of age. Older adults are at greater risk than younger adults, and blacks are at greater risk than whites.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When symptoms resolve with complete recovery, it is a transient ischemic attack. A stroke in evolution is an impending stroke, and symptoms would not resolve. An arteriovenous malfor-mation is an abnormal arrangement of blood vessels that could lead to stroke but is not a disorder in itself. Cerebral hemorrhage would not resolve.
