A child who has experienced a febrile seizure.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following factors should the nurse identify as the cause of the seizure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sudden rise in body temperature due to inflammation or infection. Seizures can be triggered by fevers, especially in children, known as febrile seizures. The sudden increase in body temperature can disrupt the normal functioning of the brain, leading to a seizure. This is a common cause of seizures in young children and is often benign.
A: Trauma to the head or neck area causing a concussion can lead to seizures, but in this case, the question does not mention any trauma.
B: Structural brain lobe defect since birth could potentially be a cause of seizures, but without any specific information provided in the question, it is not the most likely cause.
D: Pooling of blood in a cerebral space can cause seizures, but this is more commonly associated with conditions like hemorrhagic strokes or aneurysms, which are not mentioned in the question.
