Epilepsy in Children: ( 12 Questions)

Question 1 :
A nurse is educating the parents of a child recently diagnosed with epilepsy.
Which statement by the nurse is correct regarding the etiology of epilepsy in children?


Correct Answer: A

Choice A rationale:

Epilepsy in children can have multiple etiological factors, and this statement accurately reflects this.

Genetic factors, brain injury, infections, developmental disorders, and metabolic abnormalities can all contribute to epilepsy in children.

Choice B rationale:

This statement is not correct.

While genetic factors can play a role in epilepsy, it's an oversimplification to say they are the primary cause, and other factors are minimal.

Choice C rationale:

This statement is incorrect.

Infections like meningitis can certainly lead to epilepsy in children, but they are not the most common cause.

Choice D rationale:

This statement is not accurate.

Brain injury, while a potential cause, is not the sole cause of epilepsy in children.

There are multiple contributing factors.
