Questions: 7. A patient has been seen and treated for a first seizure. Which statement by the patient indicates the need for more education? A. "It's okay for me to continue to drink 3 cups of coffee per day." B. "I should try to use more stress-reduction techniques." C. "When thirsty, I can drink as much water as I want." D. "I will space my meals out evenly throughout the day."

The answer is the first one (A): "It's okay for me to continue to drink 3 cups of coffee per day."

Explanation for each option:

A. "It's okay for me to continue to drink 3 cups of coffee per day." - This statement indicates the need for more education. Caffeine can potentially lower the seizure threshold and may increase the risk of having another seizure. Patients with a history of seizures are often advised to limit their caffeine intake.

B. "I should try to use more stress-reduction techniques." - This statement is correct. Stress can be a trigger for seizures, and using stress-reduction techniques can help manage and potentially reduce the risk of seizures.

C. "When thirsty, I can drink as much water as I want." - This statement is generally correct. Staying hydrated is important, and there are no specific restrictions on water intake for patients with a history of seizures, unless they have a condition that requires fluid restriction.

D. "I will space my meals out evenly throughout the day." - This statement is correct. Regular meals can help maintain stable blood sugar levels, which is important for overall health and can help in managing seizures.

Summary: The statement "It's okay for me to continue to drink 3 cups of coffee per day" indicates the need for more education, as caffeine can potentially increase the risk of seizures.
