NCLEX PN Exam Practice Test Practice Question
An adult who has been well controlled on phenytoin (Dilantin) reports having had several seizures recently. Which comment made by the client is probably related to seizure activities?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased social activities, such as attending Happy Hour, can lead to factors that may trigger seizures, including alcohol consumption and altered sleep patterns. Alcohol can interact with phenytoin, potentially reducing its effectiveness and increasing seizure risk.
Option A, starting an exercise routine, typically promotes health and does not directly correlate with increased seizure activity unless excessive fatigue occurs, which is not indicated here.
Option B, changing jobs, might introduce stress but is less likely to have an immediate effect on seizure frequency compared to lifestyle changes like drinking alcohol.
Option D, taking ibuprofen, generally does not influence seizure control and is unlikely to be a contributing factor.
