Which of the following should NOT be done during a seizure?

During a seizure, it is crucial to prioritize the safety of the individual experiencing the episode. Trying to hold the person down is not advisable, as it can lead to increased injury to both the person having the seizure and the individual attempting to provide assistance. The contractions and movements that occur during a seizure are involuntary, and forcing someone down can lead to muscle strains or broken bones, as well as potentially increase the risk of airway obstruction.

On the other hand, moving nearby objects away can create a safer environment, and placing a soft object under the person's head helps to prevent head injuries from potential impacts with the ground. After the seizure has ended, rolling the person onto their side can be beneficial in keeping the airway clear and allowing any fluids to drain, reducing the risk of choking. Each of these actions supports the well-being of the person experiencing the seizure and follows best practices in first aid response.
