Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
If there are multiple seizures or if seizures last more than 5 minutes, call 911 because these are indicators of possible status epilepticus, a medical emergency.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Following a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, the child may have some confusion and may sleep for a time (postictal lethargy) and then return to full consciousness.
