The nurse is caring for a client with epilepsy, the client begin to have a seizure. What task would the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

A. Instructing the UAP to place the oxygen mask is correct because applying oxygen is within the scope of practice for UAPs under delegation. The UAP can assist with maintaining oxygenation and ensuring patient safety during a seizure under the supervision of the nurse. B. Instructing the UAP to administer sedatives is incorrect because medication administration is outside the UAP scope of practice. Sedatives require clinical judgment, assessment, and monitoring by a licensed nurse. C. Instructing the UAP to escort the parent outside the room is incorrect because while it may be helpful, it is not the priority intervention during an active seizure. The focus must remain on maintaining the patient’s safety and airway. D. Instructing the UAP to administer diazepam is incorrect because administering anticonvulsant medications is a nursing responsibility that requires assessment, dosage calculation, and monitoring for adverse effects. This cannot be delegated to UAPs.
