A 26-year-old female who is 34 weeks pregnant is experiencing a seizure. What is the most appropriate action to take?

In this scenario, the most appropriate action is to place the patient on her side, administer high-flow oxygen, and transport. Placing the pregnant woman on her left side is particularly important as it helps optimize blood flow to the fetus and reduces pressure on the inferior vena cava, which can be impacted by the weight of the enlarging uterus. This position can help prevent further complications, especially during a seizure, which may decrease blood flow and oxygenation to both the mother and the baby.

Administering high-flow oxygen is also a critical step, as seizures can lead to reduced oxygen levels, and ensuring adequate oxygenation is essential for both the mother’s and fetus's well-being. Transporting the patient is vital, as she requires immediate medical attention to manage the seizure and its underlying cause, which could be related to conditions such as eclampsia, a potentially dangerous complication of pregnancy.

The other options, while they may seem reasonable in other contexts, do not address the immediate needs of a pregnant patient experiencing a seizure as effectively as placing her on her side and ensuring she receives adequate oxygen.
