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: A

Rationale: Move the child into a side-lying position: This action is crucial during a seizure with vomiting to prevent aspiration. Placing the child on their side helps ensure that any vomit can easily exit the mouth and reduces the risk of choking or aspiration into the lungs. Place a pillow under the child's head: While providing comfort is important, it is not the priority during a seizure with vomiting. Placing a pillow under the child's head might elevate the head slightly, but it doesn't address the risk of aspiration, which is the primary concern. Time the seizure: Timing the seizure is important for documentation and to monitor the duration of the seizure. However, it is not the priority during the active phase of the seizure, especially when vomiting is occurring. Remove the child's eyeglasses: Removing the child's eyeglasses is not a priority during a seizure with vomiting. While it's important to prevent injury, particularly to the eyes, during a seizure, the immediate concern is addressing the risk of aspiration caused by vomiting.
