Child who is having a tonic-clonic seizure and vomiting.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who is having a tonic-clonic seizure and vomiting. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Position the child side-lying. This is the priority action because it helps prevent aspiration of vomit and ensures the child's airway remains clear during the seizure. By placing the child in a side-lying position, the nurse can protect the airway and maintain adequate oxygenation. Loosening restrictive clothing (choice
A) can be done after ensuring the airway is protected. Placing a pillow under the child's head (choice
C) is not as critical as positioning for airway protection. Clearing the area of hazards (choice
D) is important but not as immediate as ensuring the child's airway is protected during the seizure.
