A nurse is caring for a child who is experiencing a seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? (Select all that apply.)

Rationale: A) Loosening restrictive clothing prevents injury during the seizure. B) Hyperextending the child's neck can cause injury and should be avoided. Instead, the neck should be supported to maintain an open airway. C) Timing the seizure episode is important for documenting the duration and for providing accurate information to healthcare providers. D) Placing the child in a side-lying position helps prevent aspiration and maintains an open airway during the seizure. E) Restraint should not be applied during a seizure unless absolutely necessary to prevent injury to the child or others.
