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. Have ambulatory clients walk independently to a safe location: During a fire, ambulatory clients who are able to walk safely should be moved quickly to a designated safe area. This facilitates orderly evacuation and ensures that limited staff resources can focus on clients who require assistance. B. Attempt to extinguish the fire before evacuating clients: Client safety takes priority over property. Staff should only attempt to use a fire extinguisher if the fire is small, controllable, and does not delay evacuation. Evacuation is the primary responsibility. C. 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 to effectively extinguish flames by cutting off the fuel source. Spraying at the top is ineffective and may allow the fire to continue spreading. D. Open nearby doors and windows when the fire alarm sounds: Opening doors or windows can increase oxygen flow to the fire and worsen its spread. Doors should remain closed to contain smoke and flames while evacuation occurs.
