Correct Answer is A

No explanation

A. Ensure padded wrist restraints are in the client's room. B. Initiate IV access for the client. C. Administer lorazepam every 4 hr to sedate the client. D. Place an incontinence brief on the client

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Padded wrist restraints are not appropriate unless there's a clear clinical indication to prevent self-harm or injury.

Choice B rationale:

After a seizure, it's important to establish IV access for the client to administer medications, fluids, or other interventions if needed. Monitoring for possible postictal state, airway patency, and vital signs are also important components of care.

Choice C rationale:

Administering lorazepam every 4 hours is not a standard protocol for post-seizure management and could lead to excessive sedation.

Choice D rationale:

Placing an incontinence brief is not necessary unless there's a specific indication, and it doesn't directly relate to post-seizure care.
