哪項行動能有效處理病房火災？

火災發生時的應變原則為 RACE，即 Rescue（拯救病人）、Alarm（啟動警報）、Confine（隔離火源）、Extinguish/Evacuate（滅火或疏散）。護理師的首要任務永遠是保障人命安全。先進行 Rescue 是為了將病人撤離至安全地帶，防止煙霧吸入或燒傷，這是 ABC（呼吸道、呼吸、循環）原則下的最高優先級。其他選項如開啟窗戶會增加氧氣供應助長火勢；使用電梯則有停電受困風險，絕對禁止。

The response principle for a fire is RACE: Rescue (rescue the patient), Alarm (activate the alarm), Confine (contain the fire), and Extinguish/Evacuate (extinguish the fire or evacuate). The nurse's first responsibility is always to ensure the safety of life. Performing Rescue first removes the client to a safe area to prevent smoke inhalation or burns, which is the highest priority under the ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) principle. Other options, such as opening windows, would increase the oxygen supply and fuel the fire; using the elevator carries a risk of becoming trapped during a power failure and is absolutely prohibited.

台美兩地在醫院火災應變規範上高度一致，均強調 RACE 或 PASS 原則。美國醫院更嚴格要求所有工作人員必須定期參與實地模擬演練（Fire Drills）。
