Oxygen and suctioning equipment with an airway must be readily available.The bed rails should be up at all times while the client is in the bed to prevent injury from a fall if the client has a seizure.If the client does not have an IV access,insert a saline lock,especially for those clients who are at significant risk for generalized tonic-clonic seizures.The saline lock provides ready access if IV drug therapy must be given to stop the seizure.Padded tongue blades may pose a danger to the client during a seizure and should not be used.Dietary restrictions and strict bedrest are not interventions associated with epilepsy.The client should be encouraged to eat a well-balanced diet and ambulate while in the hospital.
