The healthcare provider makes the diagnosis of transient ischemic attacks (tias). the client asks the nurse, "what causes tias?" when preparing a response in language the client will understand, the nurse considers that tias are caused by which factor?

A transient ischemic attack has the same causes as that of an ischemic stroke, and it's also called a mini-stroke. They can happen when a clot blocks the blood supply to a part of the brain. Unlike the ischemic stroke, a transient ischemic attack has a blockage more brief and usually doesn't cause permanent damage.
