A child who is experiencing a seizure
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who is experiencing a seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct action is D: Position the child laterally. This is the correct choice because it helps prevent aspiration and maintains an open airway during the seizure. Placing the child on their side also reduces the risk of injury. Restrain the child's arms (
A) is incorrect as it can lead to injury. Using a padded tongue blade (
B) is unnecessary and could potentially harm the child. Attempting to stop the seizure (
C) is not within the nurse's control and can be dangerous. The correct choice, positioning the child laterally (
D), is the safest and most appropriate action to take during a seizure.
