The nurse walks into the client’s room and notices fire coming from the trash can. Place the following actions in the order the nurse should perform them: Close all of the doors and windows Activate the fire alarm Extinguish the fire using the proper fire extinguisher Move the client from the room

Choice A reason: Closing doors first (1, 2, 3, 4) delays activating the alarm and evacuating the client, risking patient safety and delayed response. Activating the alarm and ensuring patient safety are higher priorities, making this incorrect. Choice B reason: The RACE protocol (Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Contain Extinguish) prioritizes: activating the alarm (2) to notify others, moving the client (4) to safety, closing doors (1) to contain the fire, and extinguishing (3) if safe, making this correct. Choice C reason: Moving the client first (4, 2, 3, 1) delays notifying others via the alarm, risking broader safety. The alarm ensures a coordinated response, followed by evacuation, making this order incorrect. Choice D reason: Activating the alarm first (2, 1, 3, 4) is correct, but extinguishing before moving the client (4) risks patient exposure. Evacuation precedes extinguishing, as per RACE, making this order incorrect.
