A nurse is teaching about environmental safety issues to a group of assistive personnel. Which of the following actions should the nurse include as the priority in the event of a fire in a client's room?

Shut all the doors on the unit.

Initiate the facility's fire alarm.

Evacuate the client's room.

Extinguish the fire.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Shut all the doors on the unit. Shutting doors helps to contain the fire and prevent its spread, but it is not the immediate priority.
B. Initiate the facility's fire alarm. Initiating the fire alarm is crucial for alerting others and ensuring the safety of everyone in the facility. However, immediate action should focus on client safety.
C. Evacuate the client's room. Evacuating the client's room is the priority for ensuring the client's safety in the event of a fire. This action should be taken before attempting to address the fire or other tasks.
D. Extinguish the fire. While extinguishing the fire is important, the immediate priority should be the safety of individuals in the room. Extinguishing the fire can be attempted if safe to do so, but evacuation comes first.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Saline lock (or peripheral intravenous lock) does not significantly increase the risk for falls by itself.
B. Prescribed mucolytic help loosen mucus but do not specifically increase fall risk.
C. Age 60 years or older can be a risk factor for falls due to changes in balance, strength, and coordination. However, the risk increases significantly with advanced age, making this a relevant factor to consider.

A. "Reward your toddler with a sticker for staying in the car seat during car rides." B. "Discourage your toddler from holding stuffed animals while in the car seat." C. "Pad the shoulder harness with a cloth diaper to prevent irritation." D. "Start the car and keep it in park until your toddler is restrained in the car seat."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. "Reward your toddler with a sticker for staying in the car seat during car rides." While positive reinforcement is important for encouraging desired behavior, it’s not directly related to car seat safety. The focus should be on proper restraint and minimizing distractions.
B. "Discourage your toddler from holding stuffed animals while in the car seatHolding stuffed animals or other objects can interfere with the proper fit and function of the car seat harness, potentially compromising safety during car rides. Encourage parents to keep the car seat area free from distractions and ensure that the harness fits snugly across the child’s shoulders and chest.
C. "Pad the shoulder harness with a cloth diaper to prevent irritation." Adding padding to the shoulder harness is not recommended as it can interfere with the proper fit and function of the car seat harness, potentially compromising safety.
D. "Start the car and keep it in park until your toddler is restrained in the car seat." This is unsafe. The car should never be started until all occupants are properly restrained.
