If a subject continues to not comply, and when appropriate, warn of the device's ______.

If a subject continues to not comply, and when appropriate, warn of the device's ______.

• A. Loud noise
• B. Imminent use
• C. Immediate withdrawal
• D. Final discharge

Answer: (B)

Escalation relies on giving a clear, time-bound warning before deploying a device so the subject has a last chance to comply and so safety is prioritized. Saying that the device will be used imminently communicates that action will occur very soon, which is exactly what a warning is supposed to do. It sets a concrete boundary and helps reduce risk by encouraging compliance before deployment. The other options describe the device’s effects or outcomes rather than a preceding alert: a loud noise is just a feature of the device, not a warning; immediate withdrawal isn’t a warning about what’s coming; final discharge refers to the end result rather than a warning before action.
