Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale 1: Febrile seizures typically cause tonic-clonic motor activity lasting for 12 minutes with rapid return of consciousness. These occur together with a rapid rise in body temperature, and usually occur only once during any given illness. Febrile seizures are most likely to occur within the 6-monthto5-year-old age group with the greatest risk around the second year of life.
Rationale 2: A generalized seizure is not localized to one area, but travels throughout the entire brain on both sides. The seizure is thought to originate bilaterally and symmetrically within the brain.
Rationale 3: Myoclonic seizures are characterized by large, jerking body movements. Major muscle groups contract quickly, and patients appear unsteady and clumsy. They might fall from a sitting position or drop whatever they are holding.
Rationale 4: With an atonic seizure, the client stumbles and falls for no apparent reason.
