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.

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