A nurse is teaching the parent of an adolescent child diagnosed with chronic migraines. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. Migraines in adolescents typically last several hours to a few days, not just an hour or two. Expecting a very brief duration may lead to underestimating the child’s need for rest, pain management, and supportive care. B. Migraines are often described as moderate to severe in intensity and have a pulsating or throbbing quality, usually unilateral in older children and adolescents. This statement accurately describes the typical presentation and helps parents anticipate the severity and characteristics of their child’s migraines. C. Facial pallor or changes in coloration are not a consistent prodromal symptom in older children and adolescents. Migraine prodromes are more commonly associated with mood changes, fatigue, or sensitivity to light and sound. D. While aura may occur in some adolescents, including visual disturbances, not all migraines present with neurological symptoms such as numbness. This statement may overgeneralize migraine symptoms and could cause unnecessary concern.
