A nurse is caring for a client who begins to have a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Place the following nursing actions in the correct order.

During a seizure, the nurse must first ensure safety by staying with the client and calling for help to activate the emergency response system. Next, protect the client's head from injury using a soft object. Then, loosen restrictive clothing to prevent injury and promote breathing. After that, position the client on their side to maintain a patent airway and prevent aspiration. Finally, after the seizure ends, document the seizure duration, characteristics, and client's response.

Use only the findings and timing stated in the scenario.

Match each response to the immediate nursing decision and the client condition.

The remaining responses are mistimed, incomplete, outside the requested scope, or contradicted by the scenario.

Address immediate threats and use reassessment to confirm the response.

Apply the sequence or grouped decisions exactly as the scenario requires.
