A nurse is implementing seizure precautions for a client who has had a tonic-clonic seizure. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?

Rationale: A. Provide a tracheostomy tray at the bedside: A tracheostomy tray is not routinely required for seizure precautions, as airway obstruction in seizures is usually managed through positioning and suctioning. B. Place the client in supine position: The supine position can increase the risk of airway obstruction and aspiration after a seizure. A side-lying position is preferred to help maintain an open airway and promote drainage of secretions. C. Place a plastic tongue depressor at the client's bedside: Placing any object in a client’s mouth during or after a seizure can cause injury to the teeth, gums, or airway. Modern seizure precautions avoid using tongue blades or depressors entirely. D. Insert an IV saline lock: Having IV access readily available allows rapid administration of emergency medications such as benzodiazepines if the client experiences another seizure. This intervention supports prompt treatment and stabilization.
