A school-age child with seizure disorder
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to the guardian of a school-age child who has seizure disorder. Which of the following factors should the nurse include as a common trigger that increases the risk of seizure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: lack of sleep. Lack of sleep is a common trigger for seizures in individuals with seizure disorders because sleep deprivation can disrupt brain activity and increase the likelihood of seizures. Seizures are more likely to occur when the brain is fatigued due to inadequate rest. Prolonged headache (
A) is not a common trigger for seizures unless it is specifically related to a neurological issue. Decrease in temperature (
B) is unlikely to trigger seizures unless it is extreme and leads to hypothermia. Exposure to second-hand smoke (
D) may exacerbate respiratory conditions but is not a direct trigger for seizures.
