During a tornado warning, patients in a long-term care facility should be moved to which location?

Question

Accepted Answer

An interior room on the lowest floor away from windows. An interior room on the lowest floor away from windows provides maximum protection from flying debris and structural collapse. Windows (A) create injury risk from glass and projectiles. Largest rooms (C) do not offer protection. Going outside (D) exposes patients to the tornado itself. Disaster procedures require moving patients to interior, ground-level areas with structural support, away from external walls.
