This narrative was written by a nurse about some fires at the hospital where she was working (ignore this sentence in your analysis).

I arrived for work about 0640. After listening to report and assessed my patients in 5016, 5039, 5041. This was finished by approximately 0830. I started on passing 0900 medications with various interruptions—i.e.: salvaging an I.V. in 5041 and filling the feeding bag in 5016. I cannot honestly give any times for these activities. I believe the first fire was between 0930-1000. I know I did need to retrieve my inhaler from my car since I have asthma that is triggered by smoke. After recovering from that event I continued my rounds on patients and took report from Joan to enable her to go to lunch. During this time, the Secretary Linda and D.A. told me about some threatening phone calls while I was in the nurse’s station trying to do some charting. After Joan came back from lunch she asked all of us (nurses, secretary and assistants) to be more aware of any unusual people or situations. Shortly after this, I started to have another asthma attack and told Joan. The alarms then went off and the fire doors closed. As we went down the hall to close doors, someone opened 5019 and the smoke came out. I left as quickly as I could and sat outside until I could recover enough to function. The remaining 2 hours were spent trying to finish my workload and hoping nothing else would happen. Also, about 11:15 I did an admission on 5014 but this did not take more than 20 minutes.
