A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving oxygen when a fire starts in an adjacent room. Identify the sequence of actions the nurse should take. (Move the steps into the box on the right, placing them in the order of performance. Use all the steps.)

A. Move the client to a safe location: The first priority in any fire emergency is client safety. Removing the client from immediate danger prevents injury and ensures they are out of harm’s way before other actions are taken. B. Pull the nearest fire alarm: Activating the fire alarm alerts the entire facility to the emergency, initiating evacuation procedures and notifying the fire response team. Prompt alarm activation is critical for overall safety. C. Shut all doors and windows: Closing doors and windows helps contain the fire and smoke, slowing its spread to other areas of the facility. This action protects other clients, staff, and the environment until fire services arrive. D. Attempt to extinguish the fire: Only after the client is safe, the alarm is activated, and doors are closed should trained personnel attempt to extinguish the fire, if it is small and manageable. Attempting to fight a fire before these steps can place the client and nurse at significant risk.
