Answer to Question 1

A
Caffeinated beverages like tea or coffee increase the vascular pressure and help seal the punc-tured area. Orange juice, milk, or water would not achieve the same goal.

Answer to Question 2

A
IV methylprednisolone is the standard treatment for the severe acute attack of MS. Interferon is used to prevent attacks.
