Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Interferon beta helps modify the course of treatment of MS. It may also reduce exacerbations in persons with relapsing-remitting MS. It is a cytokine that acts as an immune enhancer. It is administered by injection. The other medications are prescribed for MS but not given by injection.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, B, E

Feedback:

Tumors within the intracranial (intra-axially) cavity are fixed and cause s/s of increased ICP like headache, nausea, vomiting, mental changes, papilledema, visual disturbances, and alterations in sensory and motor function. Outside the brain tissue (extra-axially), but within the cranium, tumors may reach large sizes without producing s/s. After they reach a sufficient size, s/s of increased ICP appear. Temporal lobe tumors often produce seizures as their first symptom. Brain stem tumors commonly produce upper/lower motor neuron s/s such as weakness of facial muscles and ocular palsies. Frontal lobe tumors also grow to a large size and cause s/s of increased ICP.
