Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
All alternatives to physical restraints should be considered prior to their use.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
During a seizure, a patient should be protected from injury by first lowering the patient to the ground if he/she is standing. The nurse should then place the head on a soft surface and turn it to the side to prevent aspiration and move sharp or hard objects out of the way. You should never attempt to force any object into a seizing patient's mouth.
