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 unlicense assistive personnel (UAP)?

A. Determine the means by which residents will be evacuated. - This task requires critical decision-making and understanding of evacuation protocols, which is within the scope of the practical nurse's responsibilities. B. Close all fire doors and the doors to all the residents' rooms. - While important for containment, this can be executed by UAP following established protocols. C. Assist any wandering residents back to their rooms. - UAP can assist in guiding residents back to their rooms safely. D. Offer comfort and reassurance to distraught residents. - Both PN and UAP can offer comfort and reassurance to residents during such situations.
