Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Research has found that more injury can occur to the client if the caregiver tries to place anything in the mouth during the seizure.
Rationale 2: Loosening any clothing around the neck and chest prevents constriction that might occur during the seizure that could compromise the airway.
Rationale 3: A client should never be restrained during a seizure. The nurse should stay with the client and call for assistance, if needed.
Rationale 4: If possible, the client should be turned onto the lateral position, not supine, to allow for any secretions to drain out of the mouth.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Restraints cannot be used for the convenience of the care staff.
Rationale 2: In this situation, the client's actions could hinder his/her health status and a restraint would be indicated.
Rationale 3: This situation would not call for the client to be restrained. The care staff needs to be more attentive to the client's needs.
Rationale 4: This client would not be a candidate for restraints.
