Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Suggestions to decrease the incidence of migraine headaches include eliminating foods containing tyramine, reducing or eliminating red wine, and avoiding caffeine. Relaxation techniques can help reduce the onset of migraine headaches.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Antiplatelet agents are often used to prevent TIAs and strokes in patients who have had previous strokes. These drugs prevent clot formation and blood vessel occlusion. They include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dipyridamole (Persantine), and ticlopidine (Ticlid). Fibrinolytic therapy is used to treat thrombotic stroke. Anticoagulant therapy is often ordered to treat ischemic stroke. Corticosteroids are used to treat cerebral edema.
