    A nurse is supervising an assistive personnel (AP) obtain supplies for a client who is on seizure precautions. Which of the following materials should the AP place in the client's room?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Oral suction equipment is correct. During a seizure, there is a risk of aspiration due to the loss of airway control. Oral suction equipment should be readily available in the room to clear the airway if needed, especially if the client experiences a seizure with oral secretions. B. Tongue depressor is incorrect. A tongue depressor should never be used during a seizure. Inserting a tongue depressor into the mouth can result in injury to both the client and the caregiver and should be avoided. C. Tracheostomy tray is incorrect. While a tracheostomy tray might be necessary for clients with tracheostomies, it is not a standard requirement for clients on seizure precautions unless the client has specific respiratory concerns or requires a tracheostomy for airway management. D. Wrist restraints is incorrect. Wrist restraints are not recommended during a seizure, as they can cause injury and impede movement. Instead, the goal is to provide a safe environment to prevent injury during a seizure.
