Question: 1 / 400

To whom do you report any incident of fire or injury caused by fire in a nursing home?

The office of the State Fire Marshal and the Director of ODH

In a nursing home, it is important to report incidents of fire or injury caused by fire to the proper authorities in order to ensure the safety of all residents and staff. Option B, reporting only to the local fire department, is insufficient as other agencies need to be made aware of the incident for proper investigation and follow-up. Option C, reporting to the nursing home's internal safety committee, is also inadequate as they may not have the expertise or resources to handle such incidents. Option D, reporting to the regional healthcare authority, is also not the correct choice as they may not have the jurisdiction or authority to address fire-related incidents. Therefore, the best course of action is to report to both the office of the State Fire Marshal and the Director of ODH (Option A) to ensure that all proper steps are taken in response to the incident.
