    A nurse is caring for a child who is experiencing a seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Positioning the child laterally (on their side) is important to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration during a seizure. B. Restraining the child's arms is not recommended and could cause injury. C. Using a padded tongue blade is not advised and could cause harm; the focus should be on protecting the child from injury. D. Attempting to stop the seizure is not effective; instead, focus on ensuring safety and providing appropriate medical care.
