What should not be done when a client is recovering from a seizure?

When a client is recovering from a seizure, encouraging them to walk is not advisable. Following a seizure, individuals may experience confusion, disorientation, or a lack of balance due to the aftereffects of the event. Walking can lead to falls, injuries, or further complications since their cognitive and physical abilities may still be impaired in the recovery phase.

Staying with the individual ensures they are monitored closely and receive support if they need assistance. Checking for injuries is also critical, as they may have sustained harm during the seizure itself. Placing them on their side is a common practice to help keep their airway clear and prevent choking in case of any residual effects. Therefore, the approach of encouraging the client to walk is contrary to best practices for ensuring their safety and well-being during recovery.
