💭 Think About

• Which option focuses on the overall safety and medical outcome, not just comfort or cleanliness? • During and immediately after a seizure, what is the biggest danger to the patient that you can actually control onboard? • On a vessel, what should you be thinking about in terms of ongoing medical evaluation after a serious event like a seizure?

✅ Before You Answer
