Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale
1. Be sure nothing is placed in the child's mouth during a seizure.
2. During a seizure, the nurse remains with the child, watching for complications. The child's respiratory rate should be monitored.
3. Suction equipment already should be set up at the bedside before a seizure begins.
4. The child should not be restrained during a seizure.

Answer to Question 2

A
