[Verified Answer]: A 7-year-old child comes to the clinic…

A 7-year-old child comes to the clinic with their parent, who states that the child is doing poorly in school because they have some kind of “ADD” (attention deficit disorder). The nurse asks the parent what makes them think the child has ADD. The parent says that both at home and at school their child just zones out for several seconds and licks their lips. They state it happens at least four to six times an hour. The parent says this has been happening for about 1 year. After several seconds of lip licking, the child seems normal again. The parent states their child has been generally healthy with just normal childhood colds and ear infections. The client’s parents are both healthy; no other family members have had these symptoms. What type of seizure disorder is most likely? Simple partial seizure (Jacksonian) Generalized tonic-clonic seizure Generalized absence seizure Complex partial seizure
