Zorluk: KolayEmergency Response Plan

A nurse enters a client's room and discovers a small fire in the trash can. Arrange the following actions in the correct priority sequence according to standard facility emergency response protocols.

  1. 1Remove the client from the room to a safe area.
  2. 2Activate the nearest fire alarm pull station.
  3. 3Close the door to the client's room.
  4. 4Attempt to extinguish the fire using an appropriate extinguisher.

Cevap

The correct sequence follows the RACE protocol: Rescue the client, Activate the alarm, Contain the fire by closing the door, and Extinguish the fire.
The RACE acronym (Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish) dictates the priority of actions during a facility fire. The nurse must first Rescue anyone in immediate danger, then activate the Alarm to notify others, Contain the fire by closing doors, and finally Extinguish the fire if it is small and safe to do so.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the immediate threat and prioritize client safety.
The nurse rescues the client by removing them from the room.
Life safety is always the first priority in an internal emergency such as a fire.
2
Notify the facility and authorities.
The nurse activates the fire alarm.
Early notification ensures that additional help is on the way and other staff are aware of the emergency.
3
Limit the spread of the hazard.
The nurse closes the door to the client's room.
Closing doors and windows contains the fire and prevents the spread of smoke to other areas.
4
Address the hazard directly if safe to do so.
The nurse uses a fire extinguisher to put out the small fire.
Once people are safe, the alarm is sounding, and the area is contained, trained staff can attempt to extinguish a small, manageable fire.
