What is the priority intervention for a client with eclampsia immediately after a seizure?

The priority intervention for a client with eclampsia immediately after a seizure is to administer oxygen via facemask at 10 L/min. This is crucial because after a seizure, a patient may experience respiratory distress or reduced oxygen saturation due to potential aspiration that may occur during the seizure. Administering oxygen helps to ensure that the brain and other vital organs receive adequate oxygen supply, which is essential for recovery and preventing possible complications.

While ensuring the client is in a lateral position is an important intervention to prevent aspiration and maintain an open airway, it is the administration of oxygen that directly addresses the potential for hypoxia that can occur post-seizure. Monitoring vital signs is also very important, but the immediate need is to ensure adequate oxygenation. Administering intravenous fluids is necessary for overall management but is not the immediate priority right after a seizure has occurred.
