Question 2

A mother is asking the nurse why her daughter continues to have temporal lobe seizures even though she is on medication. The nurse knows this is occurring because:

   2. Temporal lobe seizures do not respond well to medications.
   3. The daughter may be missing doses of her medication.
   4. The food her daughter eats may have a negative reaction with the medication, causing more seizures.
