Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,D,E

A. While pulling the fire alarm is correct, removing the client from the room without following the full RACE sequence (Remove, Alarm, Confine, Extinguish/Evacuate) is incorrect. The immediate safety measures should include ensuring that the alarm is activated before evacuation and confining the fire if possible.

B. Verifying the order of protective equipment removal with the nurse shows a good practice and adherence to proper infection control procedures.

C. Washing hands prior to leaving the room after disinfecting equipment indicates proper infection control practice.

D. Handwashing is a crucial aspect of infection control. Failure to perform hand hygiene during or after patient care increases the risk of infection transmission. Immediate follow-up is needed to ensure that proper hand hygiene practices are adhered to.

E. Knowing the locations of alarms is vital for effective fire safety. Inability to identify these locations indicates a significant gap in preparedness for emergencies. Immediate follow-up is necessary to ensure that staff are familiar with fire safety procedures and equipment locations.

F. Successfully completing the skills in simulation, including emptying the client's trash can, shows adherence to task requirements but is not a critical issue requiring immediate follow-up compared to the other findings.
