A nurse is reinforcing with a group of caregivers about the risk factors for seizures. Which of the following factors should the nurse include in her teaching? (Select 3 that apply)
Explanation & Rationale
A. Febrile episode: Fever is a common trigger for febrile seizures in children, especially between 6 months and 5 years. B. Low blood lead levels: Elevated, not low, blood lead levels can increase the risk of seizures due to neurotoxicity. C. Sodium imbalance: Both hyponatremia and hypernatremia can cause seizures by disrupting neuronal function. D. Presence of diphtheria: Diphtheria does not directly increase the risk of seizures. Neurological complications are rare and secondary. E. Hypoglycemia: Low blood sugar levels deprive the brain of energy, which can lead to seizures.
