During the client's annual physical examination, the significant other states that the client will just stop in the middle of a sentence and stare off into space for about 15 seconds fluttering his eyes.

It has happened about a dozen times in the last couple of months. What is happening with him? The nurse recognizes this behavior as characteristic of:
  a. a simple partial seizure. c. an atonic seizure.
  b. a complex partial seizure. d. an absence seizure.

Question 2

  a. 3 minutes. c. 15 minutes.
  b. 6 minutes. d. 30 minutes.
