Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale:During a seizure the nurse remains with the child,watching for complications. The child's respiratory rate should be monitored.Be sure nothing is placed in the child's mouth during a seizure.Suction equipment should already be set up at the bedside before a seizure begins. The child should not be restrained during a seizure.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale: The lumbar puncture is done to obtain cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Elevated white-blood-cell count is seen with bacterial meningitis. The red-bloodcell count is not elevated and the glucose is decreased in meningitis.
