Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

While opioids carry side effects such as constipation, these can be managed in order to continue treatment; constipation would not preclude the continued use of opioids, but would require management. Pain medications should precede the onset of pain, and tolerance is not grounds for discontinuing treatment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

TIAs can be considered a warning sign for future strokes. They are not hemorrhagic in nature, and their effects are not normally cumulative. They may require treatment medically or surgically.
