What should a nurse prioritize to ensure the physical safety of a client diagnosed with a seizure disorder?

Ensuring a safe environment is paramount for a client diagnosed with a seizure disorder because seizures can occur unexpectedly and pose significant risks to the individual's physical safety. A safe environment can help prevent injuries that might occur during a seizure, such as falling or hitting objects nearby. This could involve removing sharp or hard objects, padding the furniture, and making sure the client is in a safe position if a seizure occurs. While administering medications, providing psychological support, and encouraging a healthy diet are important aspects of overall care, they do not directly address immediate safety concerns during a seizure, making safety the top priority in this context.
