A 4 year old boy had an apparent seizure. He is conscious and calm and is sitting on his mother's lap. His father is sitting in a nearby chair. The child's mother suddenly begins crying uncontrollably, which causes the child to start crying. You should:
a. consider asking the father to hold the child so you can assess him while your partner tries to calm the mother
b. attempt to calm the child's mother, but avoid separating her from her child because this will increase her anxiety
c. reassure the child's mother that seizures in children are very common and that there is nothing to worry about
d. tell the mother that she should leave the room so her child will not be negatively affected by crying
