Which triggers an alarm in the SIDA or sterile areas?

• A. Opening a fire exit door.
• B. Opening a regular door.
• C. Turning on the light switch.
• D. Pressing a panic button.

Answer: (A)

In SIDA and sterile areas, alarms are wired to critical access points to catch attempts to bypass security. Fire exit doors are equipped with sensors so that when they are opened, the system immediately signals security. This immediate alert helps prevent unauthorized egress or tampering with the secure boundary, making opening a fire exit door the action that triggers the alarm. The other options don’t fit as the standard alarm trigger in this context: a regular door is typically part of normal access control and may not set off an alarm simply by opening; turning on a light switch has no security signaling associated with the alarm system; a panic button is an emergency device, not the door alarm used for routine monitoring of entry/exit in these zones.
