Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Migraine headaches are often preceded by an aura during which the client may feel depressed, restless, or irritable; see spots or flashes of light; and feel nausea. Cluster headaches come in waves over a period of time and then disappear and reappear. Tension headaches occur gradually. Neither cluster nor tension headaches are precipitated by an aura. The headache associated with increased intracranial pressure is usually sudden and severe, and is not intermittent.
