When emergencies happen, it's important to do the following:

• A. Remain calm
• B. Follow directions from police and rescue workers
• C. Wear appropriate clothing and be prepared
• D. All the above

Answer: (D)

During emergencies, safety comes from calm, coordinated action. Remaining calm helps you think clearly, communicate with the client, and avoid panicking, which can lead to mistakes in stressful moments. Following directions from police and rescue workers ensures your actions match what trained responders know about hazards, safe routes, and proper procedures, keeping you and the client in sync with the response effort. Wearing appropriate clothing and being prepared reduces the risk of injury and enables quick movement or evacuation; having the right footwear, layers, and a small emergency kit or plan lets you act promptly and protect both yourself and the person you care for. Put together, these practices create a safer, more effective response, so all of these actions together are important.
