Passage / Scenario
A nurse is transporting a 12-year-old child in a wheelchair. The child begins to experience a tonic-clonic seizure.Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct action for the nurse to take is D: Move the child to the floor. This is because moving the child to the floor ensures a safe environment in case of a fall or seizure. Inserting an oral airway (A) may not be necessary if the child is not in respiratory distress. Applying soft restraints (B) can escalate the situation and may not be indicated unless absolutely necessary. Placing a pillow under the child's knees (C) is not a priority in this situation.
