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

A. Clear the area of hard objects: This prevents injury to the child during the seizure. B. Place a tongue depressor in the child's mouth: This is contraindicated as it can cause injury to the oral cavity or obstruct the airway. C. Place the child in prone position: This position is unsafe during a seizure and could compromise the airway. The lateral position is recommended to reduce aspiration risk. D. Loosen restrictive clothing: Loosening clothing promotes easier breathing and comfort during the seizure.
