The nurse enters the room to find that the clients trash can is in flames. The client is in bed and the edge of the gown is smoking. The nurse would take which action first?

What I would do is first get the women with the smoking gown situated by either pouring some water over the edge of the gown, since it is still “smoking” and hasn’t completely set fire. Next you should evacuate everyone in the room and if a fire extinguisher is near by, spray it down on the trash can and notify your supervisor.
