Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Activate the alarm outside the client's room.

Rationale:

🚨Activating the fire alarm immediately alerts staff and triggers the facility’s emergency response protocol.

🔔Alarm activation takes priority over containment because it ensures rapid notification of all responders.

📞Notifying external agencies via the alarm engages the fire department faster than local extinguishing efforts.

📌Core Message

Activate the alarm first to ensure rapid notification and coordinated response.
