Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The client is in the stroke in evolution stage of CVA. Stroke in evolution (SIE) is a gradual worsening of symptoms of brain ischemia. Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a sudden, short-lived attack. The person recovers within 24 hours. TIA is often a warning that another, more serious stroke will occur later. Reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (RIND) is similar to TIA, except that the symptoms last for as long as a week. Recovery is complete or nearly so. RIND is also a warning that a more serious stroke is likely. Completed stroke (CS) occurs when symptoms of stroke are present and stabilize over a period.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Recovery after TURP is shorter than after other approaches. TURP is the most common prostatectomy procedure, particularly for older men or those who are a poor surgical risk. In TURP, the surgeon removes prostate tissue through the urethra using a resectoscope, which has a cutting edge or electric wire that slices the prostate away bit by bit. Because the surgeon does the operation through the urethra, no incision is necessary.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
