B. Providing a high-calcium diet
C. Instituting seizure precautions
D. Encouraging complete bed rest

The appropriate action in the care plan for a client with primary hyperparathyroidism is to ensure a large fluid intake (Option A). This helps manage high calcium levels, prevent dehydration, and reduce the risk of kidney stones. A high-calcium diet is inappropriate in this situation.
