7. What is the responsibility of staff NOT involved in direct patient care on the unit during a fire emergency? Options: a. Evacuate the building, b. Continue assigned tasks, c. Report to the Charge Nurse at the main desk, d. Move patients.

Answer

During a fire emergency in a healthcare setting, staff members who are not directly involved in patient care are typically instructed to report to the Charge Nurse at the main desk to receive instructions, help coordinate emergency responses, or assist where needed rather than independently attempting evacuation or moving patients which are handled by primary care teams or specific protocols.
