Practice Question
A nurse observes a client who is at 37 weeks of gestation and has preeclampsia with severe features having a seizure. Which Of the following actions following the seizure should the nurse take first?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Administer oxygen 10 L/min via nonrebreather mask
Rationale:
🫁 After an eclamptic seizure, both mom and fetus are at high risk for hypoxia.
🫁 Providing high-flow oxygen improves maternal oxygenation, which directly improves fetal oxygen supply.
🫁 Oxygenation is a top priority in obstetrics and in seizure management (ABCs).
🫁 This emergency measure reduces risk of fetal distress, acidosis, and maternal complications.
❌ Incorrect Answers
Palpate uterus for contractions → Important later but NOT priority.
Observe for incontinence → Not life-threatening.
Provide quiet environment → Good, but not first priority after seizure.
