Answer - D - A seizure is a temporary alteration in behavior due to massive electrical discharge of one or more groups of neurons in the brain. This is the most common cause of idiopathic epilepsy. Status epilepticus is a series of two or more generalized motor seizures without an intervening return of consciousness. The common cause in adults is failure to take prescribed anticonvulsive medications. Aggressively manage airway, oxygenate, IV therapy, determine blood glucose level, and administer diazepam, lorazepam, or midazolam IV push.
