A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the facility's fire intervention plan with new assistive personnel. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Open nearby doors and windows when the fire alarm sounds: Opening doors and windows during a fire can cause the fire to spread more rapidly by feeding it with additional oxygen. Doors should be closed to contain the fire and reduce the spread of smoke. B. Attempt to extinguish the fire before evacuating clients: Client safety is the priority in a fire situation. Evacuation should occur first, and attempts to extinguish the fire should only be made if it is safe to do so without putting clients or staff at risk. C. Have ambulatory clients walk independently to a safe location: Ambulatory clients should be instructed to evacuate independently if they can do so safely, freeing staff to assist clients who are immobile or require more help during the evacuation. D. Aim the spray of the fire extinguisher at the top of the fire: The proper technique is to aim at the base of the fire, not the top, to effectively extinguish the flames by removing the fire's source of fuel.
