Patient and Family Education
Education for the patient with seizures includes the following (Campbell 2002; Thompson 2009):
Emergency care for an acute seizure
If an individual begins to seize, lower him or her to the floor and turn onto the left side if possible. Loosen clothing if possible. Protect the head if possible
Do not place anything into the individual's mouth
Note the type of movements, the duration of the seizure, and any postictal state. Keep a record of the seizures and bring to the individual's next appointment with the primary care physician (PCP) or neurologist
Call 911 for emergency medical care if the event is a first-time seizure, the seizures are recurrent without the return of consciousness, the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes, or the individual has a prolonged state of confusion
