Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Aphasia occurs due to ischemia of the left hemisphere. The other choices may be involved in a TIA, but are not the causative pathology of aphasia.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Warfarin sodium suppresses the synthesis of vitamin K coagulation factors. Green, leafy vegetables contain vitamin K and will therefore interfere with the therapeutic effects of the drug. Bruising is a common side effect, and the drug should not be stopped unless prescribed by the physician. Low-fat foods do not interfere with warfarin sodium therapy. Anticoagulants do not affect the blood pressure.
