Nursing Care Plan for Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a symptom or manifestation of excessive loss of electrical charge in cells of the central nervous neurons that can cause loss of consciousness, involuntary movements, abnormal sensory phenomena, the increase in autonomic activity and a variety of physical disorders.
The impact on children, usually occurs as follows.
Manifestations of seizures can vary from mild to severe. Light as discomfort in the abdomen, and the weight can be a disturbance of consciousness, impaired motor function, sensory, autonomic, behavioral disorders. Actually, any person having a seizure origin can be made sufficiently strong stimulus is given, for example, electro-shock. When these stimuli exceeded the seizure threshold then the seizures.
Nursing Interventions for Risk for Injury related to Seizure
Goal: The client is not a seizure.
Expected outcomes:
Interventions
1. Encourage physical examination and laboratory periodically.
R /: Specifies possible deviations from normal findings.
2. Encourage good dental care during therapy.
R /: Lose the gum hyperplasia.
3. Encourage intake of vitamin D and folic acid adequate for therapy.
R /: Prevents deficiency.
4. Collaboration antilepsi in drug delivery.
R /: Provide appropriate therapy.
5. Stress the importance of complying with the therapeutic program.
R /: Provide appropriate therapy procedures.
6. Avoid situations that are known to trigger seizures, such as light flashes and fatigue.
R /: Preventing the occurrence of seizures.
7. Educate parents and children about appropriate activities for children (depending on the type, frequency, and severity of seizures).
R /: Provides information about the disease process.
8. Facilitate children during activities that are allowed, such as swimming, cycling.
R /: To prevent injury in the event of a seizure.
9. Instruct to shower with close supervision during bathing.
R /: To prevent injury in the event of a seizure.
10. Educate people closest to the client associated with the child about appropriate assistance during and after seizures.
R /: To prevent injury in the event of seizures and convulsions can deal quickly and appropriately.
Epilepsy is a symptom or manifestation of excessive loss of electrical charge in cells of the central nervous neurons that can cause loss of consciousness, involuntary movements, abnormal sensory phenomena, the increase in autonomic activity and a variety of physical disorders.
The impact on children, usually occurs as follows.
- Long Term General Effect, generally for long-term effects of the seizures are very dependent on the cause. Children who have epilepsy will have an impact on specific conditions, such as head injury and neurological disorders that have a higher mortality than the normal population.
- Effect on Memory and Learning. In general, children who experience seizures will be an impact pad expansion and brain disorders will occur ugliness. Children with uncontrolled seizures is a risk factor for the occurrence of intellectual decline.
- Social and Behavioral Consequences. Knowledge and language disorders, and emotional and behavioral disorders, occurs in a number of children with partial epilepsy syndromes. Children are usually dressed with a bad attitude compared to other children.
Manifestations of seizures can vary from mild to severe. Light as discomfort in the abdomen, and the weight can be a disturbance of consciousness, impaired motor function, sensory, autonomic, behavioral disorders.

- Patients do not get injured.

- Individuals associated with giving children appropriate interventions during and after the seizure.
- Normal vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respiration rate, temperature).
