In case of a fire in a healthcare facility, who should be evacuated first?

Bedridden clients
Clients nearest to the fire
Non-ambulatory clients
Staff members

The correct answer is: Bedridden clients

In a fire emergency within a healthcare facility, the priority for evacuation should be given to clients who are nearest to the fire. This is because those individuals are at the greatest risk of immediate harm due to heat, smoke, or flames. Those who are closest to the fire will have the least amount of time to evacuate safely, making their timely evacuation essential for their safety. Bedridden and non-ambulatory clients, while they may need assistance in evacuating, are not in immediate danger if they are further from the fire. Staff members do play a critical role in the evacuation process, but the immediate concern should be the safety of the clients who are most at risk. This structured approach ensures that those in the greatest danger are evacuated first, helping to save lives and minimizing potential injuries.
