What should a nurse aide do during a seizure?

Hold the person down
Keep the resident safe
Call for emergency assistance immediately
Leave the room to get help

The correct answer is: Keep the resident safe

During a seizure, the main priority is to ensure the safety of the person experiencing the seizure. Keeping the resident safe involves taking measures to prevent injury, such as clearing the area of any sharp objects or obstacles that could cause harm and positioning the person to prevent choking or further injury. It's important to stay with the individual throughout the event to provide reassurance and to monitor their condition. The other potential actions outlined, such as holding the person down or leaving the room, could inadvertently lead to injury or worsen the situation. While calling for emergency assistance may be necessary in certain circumstances, it is not the immediate priority when the seizure begins. The focus should first be on ensuring the environment is safe and monitoring the person until the seizure ends or help arrives.
