    Question: 1 of 62ATI RN Leadership 2026 Proctored Exam
    A nurse enters a client's room and notices a small fire in the bathroom trash can. The nurse removes the client from the room. Which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
    Explanation
    A. Closing fire doors and doors to clients' rooms is a good practice to contain smoke and fire. However, this action alone does not address the immediate needs of dealing with the fire or alerting others. It is an important step in the overall fire response, but it should follow other more immediate actions. B. Extinguishing the fire is a critical step, but it comes after ensuring the safety of all individuals. If the nurse has already removed the client from the room, the next priority is to alert others and ensure that the fire is managed properly. C. Activating the fire alarm is crucial because it alerts everyone in the building to the danger and initiates the building’s fire response protocols. This action should be taken as soon as possible to ensure that everyone in the building is aware of the emergency and can begin evacuating if necessary. It also ensures that emergency services are notified. D. While removing all clients from the unit is extremely important, it is usually done as part of a coordinated response that includes alerting others and ensuring the safety of everyone in the building. The nurse should first activate the fire alarm and then work on evacuating all clients if it’s safe to do so.
