What should you do for a 34-week pregnant female experiencing a seizure and high blood pressure?

For a 34-week pregnant female experiencing a seizure and high blood pressure, placing her on her side and administering high flow oxygen is the appropriate action. This position is known as the left lateral recumbent position, which is crucial for several reasons.

Firstly, placing the patient on her side helps prevent airway obstruction and aspiration, especially important during or after a seizure when the risk of vomiting is increased. This position also aids in improving venous return to the heart and reduces pressure on the aorta and vena cava, contributing to better maternal and fetal circulation.

Administering high flow oxygen is vital in this scenario, as it ensures that both the mother and fetus receive adequate oxygenation, especially during a seizure which can lead to reduced oxygen supply. The combination of positioning and oxygen supplementation can help stabilize the patient's condition and mitigate potential harm to the fetus.

The other options do not adequately address the immediate needs of a patient in this situation. Elevating the legs might not provide any specific benefit for seizures or hypertensive crises. Administering oral glucose is inappropriate without confirming hypoglycemia, and inserting an airway could be necessary only if she was unable to maintain her own airway—placing her on her side would be the first step to facilitate safe breathing
