The nurse has received report for a patient that is being admitted with a history of epilepsy. What safety precautions does the nurse implement for this patient? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A reason: Suction equipment is essential to clear the airway during or after a seizure, especially if the patient vomits or has excessive secretions. Choice B reason: IV access is important for rapid administration of anticonvulsants or emergency medications during a seizure. Choice C reason: Strict bedrest is not necessary unless the patient is actively seizing or unstable. Mobility should be encouraged with precautions. Choice D reason: Clear liquids do not prevent aspiration during seizures. Aspiration risk is managed by positioning and airway protection. Choice E reason: Padded tongue blades are outdated and potentially dangerous. They should never be placed in the mouth during a seizure due to risk of injury.
