    A nurse is providing fire safety training to a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Emergency exits must never be obstructed or propped open in a way that blocks evacuation routes or compromises fire containment systems. This violates fire safety regulations and can endanger clients and staff during an emergency. B. This reflects the RACE protocol (Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish). The first priority in a fire is to rescue or remove clients from immediate danger, especially those who are unable to evacuate themselves. Client safety is always the first action. C. This statement reverses the correct sequence of using a fire extinguisher. The correct method is PASS (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep). You must pull the pin before aiming and squeezing. D. Three-prong plugs are actually a safety feature designed to reduce electrical hazards by providing grounding. They are not considered a fire hazard when used properly. However, damaged cords or overloaded outlets would be reportable concerns.
