What should nurses do during pt's seizure? If a pt has seizure, and ativan is a PRN med. How should this med be given? IV push or IV. Anyone has such kinds of experience? thank you

Adult. ATIVan, 2mg subligual, repeat after 4 hours if another seizure occurs. Don't touch body since touching stimulates body jerks during seizure attack.

Yes, the order is PRN and IV. It dosen't say IV minibag or IV push.

For many Rts living in nursing home or at home they have a lot of routine, e.g. bowel routine, seizure attack routine and instruction. You can give prn medications based on your judgement and rt's condition.

depends on your unit policy. check the hospital policy, the hospital should specify the iv push authority.
