b.   restrain the patient’s arms and legs to prevent injury during the seizure.
c.   avoid touching the patient to prevent further nervous system stimulation.

D

Because diagnosis and treatment of seizures frequently are based on the description of the seizure, recording the length and details of the seizure is important. Insertion of an oral airway and restraining the patient during the seizure are contraindicated. The nurse may need to move the patient to decrease the risk of injury during the seizure.
