Which nursing action would be appropriate to protect a patient during a seizure? (Select all that apply)

A. Placing a high risk for falls armband on the patient: An armband alerts all healthcare providers to the patient's fall risk, helping to ensure appropriate precautions are taken.
B. Checking on the patient once a shift: This is not sufficient; patients on fall precautions should be checked more frequently, such as every hour or according to the facility's protocol, to ensure their safety.
C. Keep the bed in the lowest position: Keeping the bed at its lowest position reduces the risk of injury from falls and helps ensure the patient can easily get in and out of bed.
D. Placing all four side rails in the "up" position: Using all four side rails is not recommended as it can increase the risk of entrapment and may not be effective in preventing falls. Side rails should be used appropriately and in accordance with safety protocols.
E. Maintain call light within reach of the patient: Ensuring the call light is within reach helps the patient call for assistance if needed, which can help prevent falls.

A. Grandparents: While grandparents can provide valuable information, parents are typically the primary source of information about a child’s medical history, current symptoms, and behavioral changes.
B. Admitting provider: The admitting provider's role is to assess and diagnose the client. While they provide essential clinical information, they are not the primary source for personal and historical data about the client.
C. Parents: Parents are the most reliable source of information regarding the toddler's medical history, current condition, and any changes in behavior or health. They are most familiar with the child’s day-to-day health and medical background.
D. Medical record: Although the medical record contains important information, it may not have the most recent updates or contextual details that parents can provide. It is important to corroborate the information in the medical record with input from the parents.
