After an EEG, the client should be allowed to rest and any electrodes or markings on the scalp should be removed. The nurse may also need to shampoo the client's hair to remove any remaining electrode gel. Providing caffeine-rich drinks or measuring LOC, heart rate, or pulse rate are not necessary postprocedure activities.
