Post by: colleen on Oct 16, 2012
A 2-year-old starts to have a tonic-clonic seizure while in a crib in the hospital. The child’s jaws are clamped. The most important nursing action at this time is to
1. Place a padded tongue blade between the child’s jaws.
2. Stay with the child and observe the respiratory status.
3. Prepare the suction equipment.
4. Restrain the child to prevent injury.
