Question 1 of 5
A client on alcohol withdrawal protocol suddenly begins to have a seizure in his bed. After several minutes the seizure has not ended and the nurse suspects the client is suffering from status epilepticus. What is the priority action the nurse will take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Status epilepticus requires immediate seizure cessation to prevent brain damage. IV lorazepam is the priority to stop the seizure. Lowering to the floor, waiting, or calling a code delays critical intervention.
