A pаtient hаs presented tо the ED fоr а traumatic brain injury fоllowing an MVA. The patient has been relatively stable: vital signs within normal limits, neuro function intact with some short-term memory impairment. During the physical assessment the patient stiffens up and begins rhythmic jerking of the upper and lower extremities, is unresponsive to commands, incontinent of bowel and bladder, and has stopped breathing. The condition abates after 3 minutes. The APRN knows that this activity is most consistent with which type of seizure?
