ANS: A
Community health nurses making home visits can assess their elderly client's home for fire risk and teach fire safety, including the importance of home smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Inviting family members to spend the night, practicing a quick escape, and programming one's phone for the fire department are irrelevant if a smoke detector is not installed to alert the elderly client that there is a fire in the home.
