Question 1 of 5

The client is in status epilepticus. Which interventions, if prescribed, should be included in this client's immediate treatment? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: B,D,E

Rationale: Anticonvulsant medications such as phenytoin (Dilantin), and not anti-inflammatory medications such as dexamethasone (Decadron), are administered IV to control seizure activity. Status epilepticus is a medical emergency. The client is at risk for brain hypoxia and permanent brain damage. The client needs additional oxygen, and intubation will secure the airway. Defibrillation is treatment for ventricular fibrillation, a lethal heart dysrhythmia. Care is taken to protect the client from injury during the seizure. Either lorazepam (Ativan) or diazepam (Valium) is administered initially to terminate the seizure because they can be administered more rapidly than phenytoin.
