A home health nurse is inspecting a client's residence for electrical hazards as part of the agency's quality improvement plan. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a safety hazard?

Rationale: A. The client's bed has a three-prong plug attached to the electrical cord: A three-prong plug provides grounding and is a standard safety feature. It helps prevent electric shock and is not considered a hazard. B. A protective cover is inserted into an unused outlet: Outlet covers are recommended, especially in homes with children, to prevent accidental electrical shock. This is a safety measure, not a hazard. C. An IV pump is plugged into an outlet near a sink: This is a safety hazard because electrical devices should not be used near water sources. The proximity to the sink increases the risk of electrical shock or short-circuiting if moisture contacts the outlet or device. D. An electrical cord is coiled and secured to the floor: Coiling and securing cords can prevent tripping hazards and is generally acceptable as long as the cord is not damaged or covered in a way that could lead to overheating.
