True or False: Some emergencies can be foreseen and predicted.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

Emergencies are sudden events that require immediate action, and their exact timing isn’t something you can reliably predict. While you can recognize warning signs or known risk factors that may indicate a problem is likely to occur, you can’t forecast the exact moment an emergency will happen. That’s why the statement is false: you can prepare and respond quickly, but you can’t foresee every emergency with certainty.

In practice, stay alert to warning signs, know the resident’s usual baseline, and follow the prescribed emergency plan—calling for help promptly when signs of a serious issue appear (such as chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or confusion). This readiness helps you act fast, even though you can’t predict every event.
