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

A. Attempting to stop a seizure can cause injury to both the nurse and the child; seizures should be allowed to run their course safely. B. Using a tongue blade is unsafe and not recommended, as it can cause oral trauma or obstruct the airway. C. Positioning the child laterally (on their side) helps maintain an open airway, allows secretions to drain, and reduces the risk of aspiration. D. Restraining the child’s arms can lead to injury and does not prevent seizure activity; the focus should be on protecting the child from harm.
