Answer to Question 1

A
Absence seizures are very brief episodes of altered awareness. The child has a blank expression. Atonic seizures cause an abrupt loss of postural tone, loss of consciousness, confusion, lethargy, and sleep. Tonic-clonic seizures involve sustained generalized muscle contractions followed by alternating contraction and relaxation of major muscle groups. There is no change in level of consciousness with simple partial seizures. Simple partial seizures consist of motor, autonomic, or sensory symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, A, C

The toddler walks between 12 months and 15 months of age. The next gross motor milestone seen in the toddler is running. The toddler runs soon after learning how to walk, but may fall down. By the end of 24 months the toddler can throw a ball overhand. The toddler does not kick a ball until after 24 months of age.
