A woman brings her 18-year-old son to your EMS station. The patient is actively seizing and, according to the mother, has been seizing for the past 10 minutes. She states that her son has a history of seizures and takes Depakote. The patient is cyanotic, is breathing erratically, and has generalized muscle twitching to all extremities. You should:

A) place a bite block between his molars to prevent oral trauma, administer high-flow oxygen, and give lorazepam IM. B) protect him from further injury by restraining him, attempt orotracheal intubation, establish an IV, and give Valium. C) hyperventilate him with a bag-mask to eliminate excess carbon dioxide, establish vascular access, and give lorazepam. D) open his airway and begin assisting his ventilations, establish an IV or IO line, and administer 5 to 10 mg of diazepam.
