John Moore, a 22-year-old patient weighing in at 150 pounds, arrived at the emergency department (ED) after being thrown from his horse and passing out for a few minutes; later he regained consciousness. The friend who was also riding a horse called the squad. The patient presented with a GCS of 15, and the neuro exam was within normal limits (WNL). The ED physician wrote the orders for a CT scan without contrast of the head, CBC, renal and metabolic profile, PT, PTT, and INR. The nurse sent the labs and had the IV of NS at keep-open rate per ED protocol hanging. The nurse was awaiting radiology to call for the patient to go for the CT when the patient had an epileptic cry, became unconscious, stiffened his entire body, and then had violent muscle contractions. His respirations were very shallow, and his lips and nail beds turned blue. The patient lost control of his bladder and bowel. The patient bit his tongue and was bleeding from his mouth. The radiology department called and was now ready for the patient. List the correct order of actions that should be taken by the nurse. Explain what type of seizure the patient is having, and describe the three phases of the patient’s seizure, and the specific nursing care for each stage. The ED physician orders the following: Valium (diazepam) 10 mg every 10 to 15 minutes prn for seizures (maximum dose of 30 mg). Once seizures stop, administer Dilantin (phenytoin) 10 mg/kg IVPB. ECG monitoring continuously, VS, GCS, neuro checks every 30 minutes. Explain what meds the nurse should provide, in what order, and how they should be administered.
