➤ How should the nurse monitor and prevent seizure activity in stimulant-intoxicated patients?
Implement seizure precautions immediately: keep suction and oxygen at the bedside, pad side rails, and maintain a patent airway. Establish IV access, start continuous cardiac and neurologic monitoring, and correct metabolic abnormalities. Treat active seizures promptly with benzodiazepines to reduce the risk of hypoxic brain injury and cardiac complications.
