What does "Life safety code" mean?

The guidelines for personal safety in healthcare facilities
The National Fire Protection Association's standard 101
The rules for building construction and maintenance
The state fire safety regulations

The correct answer is: The National Fire Protection Association's standard 101

The correct answer is B. The National Fire Protection Association's standard 101 is commonly known as the Life Safety Code. This code provides comprehensive requirements for safeguarding life and property from fire and other hazards in healthcare facilities. It covers various aspects such as building construction, protection, and operational features to minimize the dangers associated with fire, smoke, and other emergencies. It is a crucial standard that all healthcare facility administrators, including Nursing Home Administrators, must be familiar with to ensure the safety of residents, staff, and visitors. Option A is related to personal safety, but the Life Safety Code specifically focuses on fire protection and life safety in buildings. Option C is too broad and does not specifically address the fire safety aspect emphasized in the Life Safety Code. Option D specifically mentions state regulations, but the Life Safety Code is a nationally recognized standard developed by the NFPA.
