Zorluk: KolayEmergency Response and Hazardous Materials

A practical nurse (PN) discovers a small fire in a trash can in a client's room. According to standard fire response protocols, in what order should the PN perform the following actions? Arrange the actions from first to last.

  1. 1Move the client out of the room to a safe area.
  2. 2Activate the facility fire alarm system.
  3. 3Close the door to the client's room.
  4. 4Attempt to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher.

Cevap

The correct sequence is: Move the client to a safe area, activate the fire alarm, close the door to the room, and attempt to put out the fire.
The correct sequence for responding to a fire is dictated by the RACE acronym: Rescue (move the client), Alarm (activate the alarm), Confine (close the door), and Extinguish (use the fire extinguisher). This sequence prioritizes life safety above all else.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the standard protocol for fire response in a healthcare facility.
The acronym RACE is the standard emergency response protocol.
RACE provides a step-by-step prioritization to ensure safety and minimize damage.
2
Determine the first action (Rescue).
Moving the client out of the room to a safe area.
Life safety is always the highest priority.
3
Determine the second action (Alarm).
Activating the facility fire alarm system.
Others must be alerted to the emergency immediately after securing the client.
4
Determine the third action (Confine).
Closing the door to the client's room.
Closing doors limits oxygen supply to the fire and prevents smoke from spreading.
5
Determine the fourth action (Extinguish).
Attempting to put out the fire with an extinguisher.
This is the final step, and should only be attempted if the fire is contained and it is safe to do so.
