Seizures Teaching 2158

SN instructed patient / caregiver what should be done in the event of seizure. Place a pillow or something soft under her head to protect it. Remove and hard objects or furniture that may get in the way and cause injury. Turn her on her side to help avoid aspiration of secretions into the lungs. Never place anything in her mouth or try to restrain her in any way. Notify physician ( MD ) of any seizure activity as well as duration of the seizure. When the seizure has subsided, she may feel disoriented or tired so it’s okay to allow her to rest and sleep. Patient and caregiver verbalized understanding of all teaching.
