Question

what are the three systems that help protect healthcare buildings when there is a fire?
o a. fire alarm systems, compartments, and automatic sprinklers
o b. fire alarm systems, exit signs and fire ladders
o c. fire drills, alarm panels and emergency policies

the race acronym stands for:
o a. rescue, alarm, contain and evacuate (or extinguish)
o b. rescue, alarm, complain and evacuate
o c. respond, alert, confine and escape
o d. read, alarm, contain and escape

the steps in race must be carried out in exact order
select one:
o true
o false

Explanation:

1. Fire alarm systems detect fires, compartments limit the spread, and automatic sprinklers extinguish fires, which are key protective systems in healthcare buildings. Exit signs and fire ladders are aids for evacuation, not core protection systems. Fire drills, alarm panels, and emergency policies are important for preparedness but not physical protection systems.
2. The RACE acronym stands for Rescue, Alarm, Contain and Evacuate (or Extinguish) in fire - safety protocols.
3. The steps in RACE are sequential and must be carried out in the exact order for effective fire response. Rescue those in immediate danger first, then alarm to notify others, contain the fire to limit its spread, and finally evacuate (or extinguish if safe to do so).

Answer:

1. a. Fire alarm systems, compartments, and automatic sprinklers
2. a. Rescue, Alarm, Contain and Evacuate (or Extinguish)
3. True
