Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in the brain is commonly known as a stroke. Option A is incorrect because an aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of an artery that can rupture and cause hemorrhage. Option B is incorrect because hemorrhage is bleeding, and while it can happen during a stroke, it is not the term used to describe a stroke. Option C is incorrect because a laceration is a cut or tear in the skin, and it is not related to a stroke.
