Question 1 of 5

A 17-year-old client had one generalized convulsion several hours prior to admission to the medical unit for a neurological workup. Physician's orders include Dilantin (phenytoin) 100 mg orally (PO) tid and phenobarbital 100 mg PO daily. He tells the nurse, 'I can't believe I really had a seizure. My mom says she was in the room when it happened, but I don't even remember it.' What is the best interpretation of his comments?

A. They indicate an initial denial mechanism, but he will begin to remember the seizure later. B. Anoxia suffered during the seizure has damaged part of his cerebral cortex. C. Inability to remember the seizure is a normal response of a person who has had a seizure. D. They are an indication that he would rather not talk about his seizure at this time.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Amnesia for the seizure event is a normal response due to altered consciousness during a generalized seizure.
