Explanation & Rationale
Rationale for Correct Choices: Administer anticonvulsant: Since the adolescent is having symptoms that precede a seizure (blurred vision), administering an anticonvulsant as prescribed can help prevent or reduce seizure activity. Place the client lying on the side: Lying on the side ensures an open airway and reduces the risk of aspiration during a seizure. This position also allows secretions to drain safely. Rationale for Incorrect Choices: Place a tongue blade in the client’s mouth: A tongue blade can cause injury to the teeth or mouth and increase choking risk. The proper approach is to place the client on their side and avoid putting objects in their mouth. Restrict movement in the extremities: Restricting movement could cause injury. The focus should be on safety by allowing the seizure to occur without interference while monitoring vital signs and activity.
