- Seizures (Epilepsy) Review for Nursing: Tonic-Clonic, Generalized, Focal, Symptoms| NCLEX video explains in a super easy and simple way what Generalized, Focal, Tonic-clonic, Atonic seizures are, as well as an in-depth discussion regarding status epilepticus, nursing interventions for each of the seizures, a medication review, and nursing interventions that are super important for nursing school exams, the NCLEX, HESI, and as a Registered Nurse.
A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain that can cause changes in your behavior, movements, and levels of consciousness. If a person has 2 or more seizures, or a seizure occurs more often, they are diagnosed with a chronic seizure condition called Epilepsy.
There are two major types of seizures called Generalized Onset Seizures and Focal Onset Seizures.
Focal Onset Seizures (previous name partial-onset seizures) occur in one part of the brain. There are two types of focal onset seizures: Focal Aware (where the patient knows that they are having a seizure), and Focal Impaired Awareness Seizure (where the patient is unaware that they are having a seizure). Focal Aware is considered the Aura that progresses to a bigger seizure such as Focal Impaired which can be all over the head. Generalized Onset Seizures start on both sides of the brain. The common generalized onset seizures include:
•Tonic-Clonic- These are known as Grand Mal seizures. “Tonic” referring to muscle stiffening, and “Clonic” to jerky arm and leg movements during the seizure.
•Absence- These are known as Petit-Mal seizures, and they last a few seconds. The patient seems to be “daydreaming” or staring into space. This type of seizure can take a long time to diagnose, as they happen so quickly.
•Atonic- These seizures are known as “DROP ATTACKS,” as the patient loses their muscle tone and suddenly goes limp causing them to fall. These seizures are brief but can cause injury to the patient as they often time fall and hit their head.
In this video, we discuss the additional seizure therapies which include the Ketogenic diet, Surgical Intervention, and discuss what an EEG is.
It is super important that you know what to do prior to, during, and after your patient experiences a seizure. I cover this in this Seizure review video and explain them in an easy to understand way and review those things that can cause Seizures, and what important patient education points you as the nurse need to cover to decrease the number of seizures.
Nursing Interventions:
Have oxygen, and suction readily available, and keep the patient’s bed at the lowest position as they can sometimes fall during the seizure, especially if they have CLONIC effects. Bedrails should be up and padded to prevent patient injury during seizures, and make sure to stay with the patient and observe and document their behavior as this provides valuable information that can lead to what type of seizure.
It does not matter if you work in a telemetry unit, or a nursing home, you will have patients that have a history of seizures or have some type of neurological problem. This is why this video on Seizures (epilepsy) is so important to watch, as it shows you the effects that Generalized, Focal, Tonic-Clonic, Atonic seizures have on your patients.
You will need to know this information for nursing school, and when you become a registered nurse.

Thank for you providing this well organized and detailed video with all the information about seizures. I am a graduate nursing student that is studying for my NCLEX exam. I honestly wished I had you as my nursing instructor in school. This information is straightforward and very informative.
Thank you 😊
Thanks so much. I really appreciate this teaching
VERY good video! Please cover more topics. Thumbs up.
I've had epilepsy for 16 years, I'm 31 my very first seizure was when I was 15. I've been on 500 mg of phenytoin every night to try and help control them and that barely works. I have generalized tonic-clonic seizures about once or twice a month sometimes more, sometimes less, my last one was Monday, I actually had 2, a second one about an hour after the first, It's common for me to have 2, one not too long after the first when they do happen and I can always feel them coming on. However my doctor has never mentioned a single thing about the precautions of taking phenytoin, I have an appointment with him next week maybe it's time I tell him to let me try something else.
I suffer from seizures and had one 2 days ago hit my head scared the hell outta my grandbaby thank God my wife had a cool head on her to help mines generalized clonic tonic seizures
Very thorough! And I finally know WHAT seizure precautions are. I've learned when a pt. needs to be put on seizure precautions but not the actual interventions. Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback, and I am glad the video helped you. Don’t forget to share!
Thank your the support,
Dr. David

Very comprehensive lecture and straight to point .please keep it coming.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so muchhhhhhh, Doc. It really helps me in my assignment:))
Have you ever experienced some one having extreme terror after a tonic clonic seizure? I used to have this upon waking from an event. I’ve learnt the signs of an impending seizure. The focal ones are weird though lol i suddenly have dim vision for a second followed by a lack of recognition work aloud 30 seconds to a minute at most.
Super informative and well explained.Thank you
Thank you for the feedback 💕
Thank u doc this is really very informative and amazing presentation ❤️❤️
Thank you Grace 🦋
This video is really good keep up the good work
Thank you and I am glad it helps you 🥰
When I had my seizure I became extremely violent because my brain was coming back. The paramedic said she was not taking me to the hospital and that she was taking me to jail for hitting her. I had no idea what my body was doing. I had no conscious.
I’m struggling with odd behavior after I have a grandmal seizure also. I don’t understand it either, it’s scary, humiliating, and I wouldn’t know anything about it if it wasn’t for bystanders telling me about it.
How do you feel about medical marijuana as a treatment for seizures? I know about 3 vets that have taken that route and their seizures have gone from very few to almost none.
Thank you for the question. Let me research this a little bit, and I will get back to you. I have read research regarding the effectiveness of medical marijuana in patients with Parkinson’s disease, and how helpful it has been. I have also seen some documentaries in how it has helped seizure patients, but I want to first read a few articles and I will come back here and give you an update.
Thanks,
Dr. David
