A nurse is collecting data from a toddler who weighs 20 kg (44 lb) and has a full thickness burn to 10% of this body.
Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

 

Choice A rationale

Prolonged headache is not typically identified as a common trigger for seizures. While headaches can be associated with certain types of seizures, they are not generally considered a trigger for seizure activity.

Choice B rationale

Decreased temperature, or hypothermia, is not typically identified as a common trigger for seizures. In fact, fever or increased body temperature is more commonly associated with triggering seizures, particularly in children.

Choice C rationale

Lack of sleep is a well-recognized trigger for seizures. Sleep deprivation can lead to increased seizure frequency in individuals with epilepsy. Ensuring adequate sleep is an important part of managing seizure disorders.

Choice D rationale

Exposure to second-hand smoke is not typically identified as a common trigger for seizures. While it is generally harmful to health, it is not specifically associated with an increased risk of seizures.

Choice A rationale

Bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis are both sexually transmitted infections, but they are not nationally notifiable, meaning cases are not required to be reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Choice B rationale

Gonorrhea is a nationally notifiable sexually transmitted infection. This means that confirmed and probable cases are required to be reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Choice C rationale

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection, but it is not nationally notifiable.

Choice D rationale

Genital Herpes Simplex Virus is a common sexually transmitted infection, but it is not nationally notifiable.
