Emergency Care: Seizures and Strokes

Question 2 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

A woman in the park has just fallen to the ground and is shaking violently. You suspect she is having a seizure. What should you do?

Answer
A
Hold her body still.
B
Loosen the scarf around her neck.
C
Move any objects that are around the woman’s body.
D
Put something in her mouth to prevent her from chipping her teeth.

Explanation

Loosen the scarf around her neck and move nearby objects away so she can breathe comfortably and is less likely to be injured. Do not hold her still; restraining someone during a seizure can cause injury. Do not put anything in her mouth, since this can harm her or block her airway.
