during the seizure activity, can I put ativan into pt's mouth? I remember when a seizure acitivity happens, nothing should put into pt's mouth and suction should be prepared to keep airway open. I checked a nursing journal. It says we can administer ativan to stop the seizure when it happens. But it doesn't say by which way. If I give IV push, it definately can stop the seizure soon, but is that the best way to stop the seisure? How about minibag IV? If I give ativan subligual, usually, how long it takes to stop the seizure?
