Question: 38 of 180 RN VATI Comprehensive Predictor




A nurse is caring for a client who is having a seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to
prevent client injury?

A. Place the client in a prone position.

B. Insert a padded tongue blade into the client's mouth.


✓ C. Loosen the client's restrictive clothing.

D. Restrict the movement of the client's extremities.

✓ Correct Answer: C
During a seizure, loosen restrictive clothing to prevent injury and allow free breathing. Never place the client prone (aspiration risk),
never insert anything into the mouth (broken teeth/injury risk), and never restrain extremities (fracture risk). Position the client on
their side, protect the head, and time the seizure.
