You are dispatched to a local pharmacy, where a 24-year-old woman experienced an apparent seizure. During your assessment, you note that the patient is conscious but combative. The patient's supervisor states that she has a history of seizures and takes Tegretol.

D) administering oxygen, restraining her to protect her from further injury, placing a bite block in her mouth in case she seizes again, and transporting.
