Answer to Question 1

A
The environment is kept quiet with minimal stimulation to reduce the possibility of seizure. The care is done with general precautions. Fluid intake is encouraged, as are daytime naps to preserve energy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Isometric exercises are based on the energy of opposing muscles working against each other. Isometric exercise may be contraindicated in patients with hypertension, increased intracranial pressure, or congestive heart failure, as there is a significant increase in blood pressure and heart rate during isometric exercise
