Which statement, if made by an older client diagnosed with urinary incontinence, indicates a need for further teaching?

This is the priority action because it follows the RACE acronym for fire safety: Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish. The nurse should first rescue the client from immediate danger by smothering the flames with a blanket.

This will also help contain the fire and prevent it from spreading.

Choice A is wrong because closing the window and removing the client’s oxygen will not put out the fire.

Oxygen is not flammable, but it can make a fire burn faster and hotter. Removing the oxygen source may help reduce the intensity of the fire, but it will not extinguish it.

Choice B is wrong because sounding the fire alarm and activating the emergency response system are important steps, but they are not the priority. The nurse should first ensure the client’s safety before alerting others and calling for help.

Choice D is wrong because removing the client from the room and closing the door may expose the client to more harm and make the fire worse.

The nurse should not move the client unless it is absolutely necessary, as this may cause further injury or infection. Closing the door may create a backdraft, which is a sudden explosion of fire caused by oxygen rushing into an enclosed space.

A client who grimaces during a dressing change is showing a nonverbal sign of pain. Grimacing is an expression of facial muscles that indicates discomfort or distress.

The nurse should record this as a symptom of pain and ask the client to rate the pain using a numeric or visual scale.

Choice B is wrong because an elevated heart rate while exercising is not necessarily a symptom of pain. It could be a normal response to increased physical activity or a sign of other conditions such as anxiety, dehydration, or fever.

Choice C is wrong because crying during a procedure is not a reliable indicator of pain. Crying is an emotional response that can be influenced by many factors such as fear, stress, or sadness.

The nurse should not assume that the client is in pain based on crying alone and should ask the client about the reason for crying and the level of pain.

Choice D is wrong because saying “I feel achy all over” is not a specific description of pain.

Aching is a vague term that can refer to different sensations such as soreness, stiffness, or cramping.

The nurse should ask the client to clarify what kind of pain they are feeling, where it is located, how severe it is, and what makes it better or worse.
