A 26-year-old man in a clinic waiting room suddenly has a tonic-clonic seizure while sitting on a chair, jerking violently and about to fall. His brother says he has epilepsy. What is the correct action?

1. Ease him down, protect his head, then turn him on his side
2. Give him water to drink during the seizure
3. Put a spoon in his mouth to stop tongue biting
4. Hold his arms and legs down firmly until the jerking stops

Answer: A) Ease him down, protect his head, then turn him on his side. During a seizure: prevent injury, move hard objects away, put nothing in the mouth, do not restrain, time it, and turn him on his side afterwards.
