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

A. "I will report equipment with three-prong electric plugs as a fire hazard.": Three-prong plugs are designed for safety, providing grounding to prevent electrical fires. Reporting them as hazards indicates a misunderstanding of proper electrical safety. B. "If I see a fire, I should try to remove the client from the room first.": Ensuring client safety is the top priority during a fire. Removing clients from immediate danger follows the first step of the RACE protocol (Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish), demonstrating correct understanding of fire response. C. "I should place equipment in front of the emergency exit to prop it open.": Blocking emergency exits is a serious fire safety violation. Exits must remain clear at all times to allow rapid evacuation. D. "I should sweep the fire extinguisher from side to side before squeezing the handle.": The correct sequence is to pull the pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the handle, and then sweep side to side. Sweeping before squeezing would render the extinguisher ineffective.
