Answer to Question 1

A
Before a seizure, some people experience an aura, which is a strange sensation. It can be an odor, sound, taste, or visual sensation such as bright spots or flashes. It is a common occurrence and not an indicator of tumors or pressure in the brain. Confusion, lethargy, and an inability to re-spond are common for the postictal phase of a seizure, but asking about these symptoms does not address the patient's question.

Answer to Question 2

A
500 mL  6 = 83.3 mL/hr. Divide 83.3 mL by 60 minutes = 1.38 mL per minute. Round up to 1.4.
