A nurse is caring for a patient admitted with a history of tonic-clonic seizures. What is the most important nursing intervention to include in the patient's care plan?

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Padding the side rails protects the patient from injury during a seizure by preventing impact with hard surfaces. Restraining the patient during a seizure is contraindicated and can cause injury. Prophylactic medication is a medical order, not a sole nursing intervention.
