🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic first aid priorities during a seizure or epileptic convulsion • What a typical deck officer/crew member is allowed to administer (or not) as medication at sea without medical orders • The difference between protecting the airway and preventing injury vs. trying to stop the convulsions

💭 Think About

• Which action focuses on safety and protection from harm rather than trying to stop the convulsion itself? • Which options involve doing something that could actually increase risk to the victim, such as blocking breathing, causing injury, or giving medication without orders? • During a convulsion, what can you realistically control: the seizure itself, or the environment and position of the victim?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice avoids forcible restraint of the victim’s movements • Eliminate any option that involves administering drugs without medical direction • Check which option best matches standard first aid guidance: protect the head, clear the area, and prevent self‑injury while allowing the seizure to run its course
