Answer 1

The phases of a seizure chronologically are preictal, ictal, and postictal (Option A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct chronological order of the phases of a seizure is:

1. Preictal: This is the phase that occurs before a seizure and includes symptoms such as mood changes, anxiety, and irritability.
2. Ictal: This is the phase during which the seizure occurs and includes the actual loss of consciousness and muscle contractions.
3. Postictal: This is the phase that occurs after the seizure and includes symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness, and muscle weakness.

So, the correct answer is a. Preictal, Ictal, Postictal.
