When a small fire breaks out in the kitchen of a long-term care facility, which task should be performed by the practical nurse (PN) rather than the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

A. Determining the means of evacuation requires understanding the facility's evacuation protocols, coordinating with authorities, and ensuring the safety of residents, which typically falls under the responsibility of the nursing staff, including the practical nurse (PN). B. Closing fire doors and residents' room doors can be part of fire safety protocols and may involve the immediate safety response handled by both nursing staff and facility personnel. C. Assisting wandering residents and offering comfort and reassurance to distraught residents can be tasks shared among nursing and support staff to ensure resident safety and well-being during an emergency situation.
