Zorluk: KolayAccident, Error, and Injury Prevention

A nurse discovers a small fire in a client's wastebasket. In which order should the nurse perform the following actions? Arrange the steps from first to last.

  1. 1Move the client out of the room to a safe area.
  2. 2Activate the nearest fire alarm.
  3. 3Close the door to the client's room.
  4. 4Use a fire extinguisher on the wastebasket.

Cevap

The correct sequence follows the RACE protocol: Rescue the client, Activate the alarm, Confine the fire, and Extinguish the fire.
The RACE acronym stands for Rescue, Alarm, Confine, and Extinguish/Evacuate. This evidence-based protocol dictates that healthcare professionals must prioritize human life first (Rescue), followed by system-wide notification (Alarm), limiting the hazard (Confine), and finally attempting to put out the fire (Extinguish) only after all other steps are complete.
