Answer to Question 1

A
These are symptoms of classic migraine. Hemiplegic migraine is characterized by motor and sensory symptoms. Basilar-type migraine includes vertigo, diplopia, dysarthria, tinnitus, and decreased hearing. Ophthalmoplegic migraine affects the third, fourth, or fifth cranial nerve, causing permanent damage.

Answer to Question 2

A
Initial treatment of uncomplicated UTI is a 3-day course of TMP-SMX. Ciprofloxacin is used if the patient is still symptomatic. Doxycycline is a second-line treatment. Amoxicillin-clavulanate is used to treat pyelonephritis.
