A nurse enters a client's room and finds the client experiencing a seizure on the floor. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Place a pillow under the client's head. Placing a pillow under the client's head is appropriate as it helps protect the client's head from injury during the seizure. Providing cushioning can reduce the risk of head trauma, which is a common concern during seizures. B. Gently restrain the client's arms. Gently restraining the client's arms is not recommended during a seizure, as it can lead to injury. Restraining movements can also increase the risk of injury to both the client and the caregiver. Instead, the nurse should allow the seizure to progress without interference. C. Administer a muscle relaxant. Administering a muscle relaxant is not appropriate during a seizure. The nurse should not medicate the client until the seizure has stopped and the healthcare provider has assessed the situation. Immediate management focuses on safety rather than medication. D. Insert a tongue blade. Inserting a tongue blade or any object into the client's mouth is dangerous and not recommended. This can cause oral injury, broken teeth, or airway obstruction. The nurse should ensure the area is clear of hazards and allow the seizure to occur without attempting to prevent movements.
