A driver who has suffered an intracerebral hemorrhage may be at an increased risk for seizures. The determining factor as to whether or not seizures are likely is:
  1. The severity of the hemorrhage
  2. The location of the hemorrhage
  3. The age of the driver
  4. A family history of strokes
Explanation
Answer: B - The location of the hemorrhage

The risk for seizures with intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages depends on the location of the hemorrhage. Cerebellum and brainstem vascular hemorrhages are not associated with an increased risk for seizures. Cortical and subcortical hemorrhages are associated with an increased risk for seizures.
