School-age child with seizure disorder
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to the guardians of a school-age child who has a seizure disorder. Which of the following factors should the nurse include as a common trigger that increases the risk of seizures?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Lack of sleep. Lack of sleep is a common trigger for seizures in individuals with seizure disorders due to the disruption of normal brain activity and increased stress on the body. Sleep deprivation can lower the seizure threshold, making individuals more susceptible to experiencing seizures. Prolonged headache (
A) is not a common trigger for seizures. Exposure to secondhand smoke (
B) may aggravate respiratory conditions but is not a direct trigger for seizures. Decreased temperature (
C) is unlikely to be a common trigger for seizures unless it leads to severe hypothermia.
Therefore, the correct answer is D as lack of sleep is a known trigger for seizures.
