A)For a client with a tonic-clonic seizure disorder, driving privileges will be suspended until seizure activity is controlled and client is seizure-free for a period of time determined by state statutes, so this client would likely not be able to drive legally until the seizures are controlled for some time. Cessation of seizure activity indicates that medication therapy has been effective. The client's participation in well-supervised sports and activities will likely enhance the client's self-esteem, and it indicates that care has been effective.
