JBL EMT Practice Exam

During the postictal state that follows a seizure, the patient will most accurately experience a gradually decreasing level of consciousness. This phase is characterized by a period of altered consciousness, confusion, and fatigue as the brain recovers from the seizure activity. The patient may appear drowsy, disoriented, and fatigued, and they may take some time to fully recover and regain their normal level of alertness. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe the typical experience of a patient during the postictal state.
