    A nurse is planning care for a client who is experiencing seizures secondary to meningitis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse Include in the plan of care? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Placing a tongue blade at the bedside is inappropriate and outdated. It should never be inserted into a client's mouth during a seizure due to the risk of injury. B. Dimming overhead lights helps reduce environmental stimuli, which can lower the risk of triggering seizures in clients with meningitis. C. Ambulating every 4 hours is not appropriate during the acute phase of meningitis when the client is at risk for seizures and may have decreased neurological function. D. Applying a warming blanket is unnecessary unless the client is hypothermic. Meningitis does not typically cause hypothermia. E. Having suction equipment at the bedside is essential to maintain airway patency and prevent aspiration during or after a seizure.
