ATI Pharmocology Exam Fletcher NRSG 106 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A school-aged child is brought to the clinic by her parents. The parents state that the child will be engaged in some activity at home and then will just stop suddenly for a few seconds and then pick up the activity again as if there had been no break in what she was doing. This child should be assessed for what neurological disorder?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Absence seizures. Absence seizures are characterized by a brief lapse in awareness or consciousness, often lasting only a few seconds, where the individual appears to stare blankly. This matches the description given by the parents of the child stopping suddenly for a few seconds during an activity. Myoclonic seizures (
A) involve sudden, brief muscle jerks, not just a pause in activity. Status epilepticus (
C) is a continuous seizure lasting more than 5 minutes or multiple seizures without regaining consciousness.
Tonic-clonic seizures (
D) involve loss of consciousness, muscle rigidity, and convulsions, which are not described in the scenario.
