Assessment

Diagnosis
Risk for injury related to seizure activity.
Goals
Patient will be free from injury during seizures and maintain seizure control. Patient and caregivers will verbalize understanding of seizure management and safety precautions.
Interventions
Administer prescribed antiepileptic medications and monitor for side effects. Educate patient and caregivers on seizure first aid and safety measures. Encourage patient to wear medical identification indicating seizure disorder. Monitor seizure frequency, duration, and triggers.
Rationale
These interventions help manage seizures, prevent injury, and support patient and caregiver understanding of epilepsy management.
Evaluation
Patient's seizure control, safety during seizures, and understanding of management strategies will be monitored to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
