TASK

– Monitoring parameters for benzos when used for status epilepticus was not adequately discussed. What specifically should be monitored by APN for efficacy? Are we expecting reduction in seizures, complete cessation of seizures, or a temporary pause in symptoms? When used IV, what side effects of diazepam are concerning and should be monitored by the APN?

– Similarly, monitoring parameters for the drugs used LV’s grand-mal seizures diagnosis are not adequately discussed. How does the APN objectively know the medication is efficacious? Similarly, what are monitoring parameters for side effects? You listed the side effects but not for how the APN can monitor.
