    In caring for a client who requires seizure precautions, the practical nurse (PN) should ensure the ready availability of equipment to perform which procedure?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Suction the trachea: Having suction equipment available helps clear the airway if secretions or vomitus occur during or after a seizure. B. Apply soft restraints: Restraints are not used for seizure precautions; they can cause injury during seizure activity. C. Insert a urinary catheter: Not a seizure precaution. D. Insert a nasogastric tube: Not a seizure precaution and may be dangerous during active seizure.
