Answer to Question 1

1
In clients who are ineligible for tPA therapy, catheter-based treatment such as stenting may be an option. Carotid endarterectomy is used to prevent a stroke. Antiarrhythmic medication does not prevent a stroke. Intravenous fluid therapy does not prevent a stroke.

Answer to Question 2

1
Photo DNA therapy is not a therapy. The other answers are common treatment modalities for patients with brain tumors in addition to photodynamic and adjunctive medication therapy.
