A nurse is caring for a child in the hospital who has seizures. Which of the following nursing interventions is a priority in the child's plan of care?

A. Providing a safe environment and removing any potential hazards is the priority nursing intervention for a hospitalized child with seizures. During a seizure, the child is at greatest risk for injury from falls, hitting nearby objects, or airway obstruction. The nurse should ensure padded side rails, suction and oxygen at the bedside, and close monitoring to maintain safety. B. Administering antipyretic medication may help in cases of febrile seizures but is not the priority intervention for overall seizure management. Seizures can occur without fever, so this is not universally appropriate. C. Encouraging physical activity is important for overall health but is not safe during an acute seizure episode. Activity should be supervised and tailored to the child’s condition. D. Restricting fluid intake is not a standard intervention for seizures unless there is another comorbidity (such as SIADH). Fluid restriction does not prevent seizures
