Final answer:

When a client experiences a tonic-clonic seizure, the nurse should move obstacles away, avoid hyperextending the neck, and not restrain the client's body movements.


Explanation:

Tonic-clonic seizures, formerly known as grand mal seizures, are characterized by sudden loss of consciousness accompanied by muscle contractions. When a client is observed experiencing a tonic-clonic seizure, the nurse should:

  1. Move obstacles away from the client to prevent injury during the convulsions.
  2. Do not hyperextend the client's neck, as it can cause harm.
  3. Refrain from restraining the client's body movements as it can further exacerbate the situation.
  4. Avoid attempting to place an airway in the client's mouth during the seizure.
