Hands tremors

Hello there my fellow nurses!!

I have this kid in today, a grade 4, who was having hands tremors. 1st time. No history of trauma or epilepsy. Checked eyes - PEARL. No confusion or nausea. Pulse good and strong.No numbness. Her hands tremors reduced after I asked her to do some hands exercises.

I thought that it may be anxiety. She said she is a bit anxious about her swimming test today.

Can that really be the issue?

    it could be anxiety. Is she on any meds? That could also be a cause.

    It could be stress related. I have seen kids getting ready for big exams get themselves pretty worked up and get fidgety and have foot shaking and other repetitive behaviors. I would monitor her for a while and maybe some stress leaving skills teaching might be in order. if she gets this upset at this yonng age, she is in for a rough time in her teens! Maybe like us she just needs a vacation! (2 days til Spring break!)
