Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During a seizure, the highest priority of the nurse is to stay with the client and call for help. The nurse should make sure that the client does not fall off the bed or hurt themselves, and then call for assistance. Administering oxygen or suctioning may be necessary after the seizure but staying with the client and calling for help is the priority during the seizure. An oral airway should not be inserted during a seizure as it may cause the client to gag or aspirate.
