After initial stabilization and assessment, what is the most appropriate management step? A. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor-based symptomatic treatment B. Early neurorehabilitation planning C. Appropriate antiseizure medication D. Disease-modifying therapy for relapsing MS E. Time-sensitive stroke reperfusion pathway Show Answer & Explanation Correct Answer: D Explanation: Disease-modifying therapy for relapsing MS is preferred because it aligns with guideline-based care priorities, reduces avoidable complications, and supports safe outcomes in Neurology.
