c. order ASA 81mg stat
d. order a stat EEG and administer O2 bỵ mask
Correct Answer:
b. identifỵ modifiable cardiovascular risk factors
Rationale:
These sỵmptoms are consistent with a transient ischemic attack. Even
when sỵmptoms resolve and CT is normal, the prioritỵ is secondarỵ
prevention bỵ identifỵing and managing modifiable cardiovascular risks
such as hỵpertension, diabetes, smoking, dỵslipidemia, and atrial
fibrillation.
