Nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of patients during a fire emergency. Key actions include:
Activating the fire alarm and notifying emergency responders. Evacuating patients according to the facility's evacuation plan, prioritizing those who are most vulnerable. Using fire extinguishers if the fire is small and manageable, ensuring personal and patient safety. Closing doors to contain the fire and smoke. Assisting patients and colleagues in moving to designated safe zones.
