Answer to Question 1

B
If a fire occurs, the nurse should use the nearest fire box for notification and move patients to safety.

Answer to Question 2

Restraints should release easily using a clove hitch knot. The nurse should perform circulation, skin, and neurological assessments every two hours. The restraint should not be secured to the side rail but rather to the bed frame.
