Final answer:
A febrile seizure is a convulsion that occurs in young children as a result of a high fever. The nursing history should include information about the seizure occurring during an episode of high fever.
Step-by-step explanation:
A febrile seizure is a convulsion or seizure that occurs in young children as a result of a high fever. It is usually harmless and typically occurs in toddlers between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. In order to suspect that a child has had a febrile seizure, the nursing history should include information indicating that the seizure occurred during an episode of high fever, usually above 38.9°C (102°F).
Therefore, the correct answer choice is D) The seizure occurred when the child had a respiratory infection. A child having a respiratory infection with accompanying high fever is more likely to experience a febrile seizure.
