"I should change the batteries in my smoke alarms every 2 years."

"I should spray the extinguisher from side to side on the fire."

"I will attempt to extinguish the fire before calling the fire department."

"I will use a Class A extinguisher for an electrical fire."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. Smoke alarm batteries should be changed at least once a year, not every 2 years, so this statement reflects a misunderstanding of fire safety recommendations.
B. Spraying the extinguisher from side to side at the base of the fire is the correct technique for using a fire extinguisher, indicating the client understands proper fire safety.
C. Attempting to extinguish a fire before calling the fire department can be dangerous; the client should call for help first if the fire is large or spreading.
D. A Class A extinguisher is suitable for ordinary combustibles like wood and paper, but for electrical fires, a Class C extinguisher should be used, indicating a misunderstanding of fire extinguisher types.
