A. Remind the client of the day and time often.B. Offer the client several choices at mealtimes.C. Avoid discussing the client's fears.D. Alternate daily caregivers.

A. Insert an oral airway into the client's mouth.B. Lower the side rails of the bed when the seizure begins.C. Measure the duration of the seizure.D. Restrain the client's arms and legs to prevent injury.
