Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: The order of priority in the event of a fire is to rescue the clients in immediate danger. The next step is to activate the fire alarm. The fire is then confined by closing all doors, and last, the fire is extinguished.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: If the client is on airborne precautions, client movement and transport should be lim-ited if possible. If transport or movement is necessary, client dispersal of droplet nuclei can be minimized by placing a surgical mask on the client. Place the client in gown, gloves, and mask and request that the MRI technicians wear masks are not necessary. Delay the test until air-borne precautions are discontinued might place the client at risk for complications. This leaves place a surgical mask on the client for transport and for contact with other individuals, which is appropriate protection for the staff.
