The highest priority for Jackson is impaired gas exchange related to ineffective breathing patern. It is imperative to ensure that Jackson has a patent airway and adequate oxygenation during the seizure because hypoxia can have severe consequences on the patient’s condition. Jackson must be placed in a side lying position to facilitate airway positioning and reduce the risk of aspiration. He must also be suctioned appropriately when there are secretions. If safety precautions are not taken during the seizure activity, Jackson can face serious complications. Since Jackson has an altered level of consciousness, he is at risk for aspiration and ineffective airway clearance because he is not able to manage his secretions (Piillitteri, 2014). Also,
