If a person with a known seizure disorder recovers after a seizure, what might you need to arrange?

• A. A ride home for the person.
• B. Immediate hospital admission.
• C. A taxi for a different person only.
• D. No arrangements are needed.

Answer: (A)

After a seizure, the brain often needs time to recover, and the person may still feel drowsy, disoriented, or weak. Even if they appear to have recovered, they should not drive or be left alone until fully back to baseline. Arranging a ride home ensures they get to a safe place where they can rest and be monitored in case symptoms return or fatigue worsens. Hospital admission isn’t needed unless there are complications like injury, a prolonged or recurrent seizure, or an unclear diagnosis. A taxi for someone else doesn’t address this patient’s immediate safety, and no arrangements would overlook the risk of driving or traveling while still impaired.
