B. Initiate seizure precautions – This is the correct answer. Alcohol withdrawal can lead to seizures due to central nervous system hyperactivity. Diazepam, a benzodiazepine, is used to prevent seizures and manage withdrawal symptoms.

C. Administer the medication with an antacid – There is no need to administer diazepam with an antacid; doing so can interfere with absorption.

D. Initiate contact precautions – Alcohol withdrawal is not an infectious condition, so contact precautions are unnecessary.
