Question:

You arrive to find the patient actively seizing. What is your primary concern with this patient?

A Airway
explanation

When a patient is actively seizing, all muscles are contracting erratically without coordination so there are ineffective respirations. Plus with every muscle contracting there is an increase in oxygen demand so the patient will be in oxygen debt. Also there may be a partial or complete airway obstruction.
