Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During a seizure, a patient should be protected from injury by first lowering the patient to the ground if standing. The nurse should then place the head on a soft surface and turn it to the side to prevent aspiration and move sharp or hard objects out of the way. The nurse should never attempt to force any object into a seizing patient's mouth.
