Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
RACE stands for rescue, alarm, contain, and extinguish. QSEN is the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses. PASS is pull, aim, squeeze, and sweep for fire extinguishers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
If poisoning is suspected, the National Poison Control Center should be contacted immediately. This information will be needed to determine treatment. Respiratory may be needed, and radiology and family services may also be needed, but that will be determined after the treatment plan is determined.
