Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During a seizure, a patient should be protected from injury by first lowering the patient to the ground if he/she is 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. You should never attempt to force any object into a seizing patient's mouth.
