Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with collecting data from a 10-month-old in the emergency department. Medical History: Guardians brought the infant to the emergency room after witnessing the infant's arms and legs shaking. The infant did not respond to the guardians' voices during that time. The episode lasted approximately 5 min and the infant was sleeping soundly afterwards. On the way to the emergency department, the infant had another episode of shaking of the extremities and drooling. The infant was asleep when they arrived for evaluation. The infant has no prior medical or surgical history. Born full-term at 40 weeks to a birth mother who had regular prenatal visits. Actions to Take: Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices below to specify what condition the client is most likely experiencing, 2 actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and 2 parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client's progress.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The infant's symptoms suggest a possible seizure disorder. Seizures can cause symptoms such as shaking of the extremities and unresponsiveness. The fact that the infant was sleeping soundly after the episode and had another episode of shaking and drooling on the way to the emergency department further supports this. The nurse should monitor the infant's neurological status and vital signs, and administer anticonvulsant medication as ordered by the physician.
