Question 3 of 5
When a client is prescribed seizure precautions, which interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,D,E,F
Rationale: Suction equipment should be readily available to remove accumulated secretions after the seizure. The client should be accompanied during activities such as bathing and walking so that assistance is readily available and injury is minimized if a seizure begins. The bed is maintained in a low position for safety. A quiet, restful environment is provided as part of seizure precautions.
