Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Status epilepticus is defined as a seizure that lasts more than five minutes or having more than one seizure within a five-minute period without returning to a normal level of consciousness between episodes. A client experiencing a series of three tonic-clonic seizures is likely to be diagnosed with status epilepticus, as this indicates a prolonged or rapid succession of seizures without full recovery in between, fitting the criteria for status epilepticus.
