Risk factors that increase the likelihood of post-traumatic
seizures following a head injury include which of the following?
a) Age over 65 years
Risk factors that increase the likelihood of post-traumatic seizures
following a head injury include brain contusion with subdural
hematoma, skull fracture, loss of consciousness or amnesia of 1 day or
more, and age over 65 years.
b) Loss of consciousness for less than 1 day
Loss of consciousness or amnesia of 1 day or more is a risk factor that
increases the likelihood of post-traumatic seizures following a head
injury
c) Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score less than 10
The GCS assesses level of consciousness; a score of 10 or less
indicates the need for emergency attention. It is not a risk factor for
post-traumatic seizures.
d) Epidural hematoma
Brain contusion with subdural hematoma is a risk factor that increases
the likelihood of post-traumatic seizures following a head injury
