NCLEX Practice Test RN Practice Question
The nurse enters the playroom and finds an 8-year-old child having a grand mal seizure. Which one of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should not put anything in the child's mouth during a seizure; this action could obstruct the airway. Restraining the child's movements could cause constrictive injury. Staying with the child during a seizure provides protection and allows the nurse to observe the seizure activity. The nurse should provide safety for the child by moving objects and protecting the head.
