While some seizures are idiopathic, others occur as a result of trauma, infection, hypoglycemia, endocrine dysfunction, toxins, or tumors. Accompanying signs and symptoms can include loss of consciousness, jerking movements, loss of bowel and bladder control, and altered breathing pattern. Management of seizures includes antiepileptic medications, safety precautions, and family education. During a seizure, care of the patient includes: maintaining airway patency, ensuring safety including the use of seizure pads according to local recommendations, avoiding risk of aspiration, administering medications, and providing emotional support to the family. Some patients needs help from social work for optimal treatment. Medical alert bracelets should be worn by all children with a history of seizures. A history of seizures should not confine a child to a sedentary life, but extra supervision is needed while swimming and during activities such as rock climbing, and it is essential that helmets and padding be worn while riding bicycles. Risk factors for exacerbations include noncompliance with medication regimen, nontherapeutic drug levels, infection, head injury, electrolyte imbalances, and metabolic disorders. You got 100%
