The correct answer is 1
For the clients safety, remain at the bedside amd observe respirations and level of consciousness. Prepare to clear the airway if obstructed. Do not place anything in the clients mouth.
For safety. do not leave the client unattended. A cardiac arrest should only be announced if pulse or respirations are absent after the seizure.
