What should you do if there is a tornado watch in your immediate geographic area?
  1. Nothing, the tornado has already touched down.
  2. Plan to move patients away from windows and await instructions.
  3. Evacuate all patients to an outdoor place to avoid breaking glass.
  4. Move patients to the highest floor possible.
Explanation
Answer: B - You should plan to move patients away from windows and await instructions when there is a tornado watch in your immediate geographic area. A tornado watch means that conditions are ripe for the formation of a possible tornado. A tornado warning is more serious than a tornado watch. A tornado warning means that there is actually a tornado in the area. You should move all patients as far away from windows as possible, and, possibly move them to the lowest level floor.
