A nurse is assisting with teaching an assistive personnel (AP) about electrical safety. Which of the following statements by the AP Indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. "Extension cords can be placed under floor mats.": Placing cords under floor mats is unsafe because it increases the risk of overheating, fraying, and fire. It also creates a tripping hazard. Proper cord management involves keeping cords visible and free from pressure or obstructions. B. "Paper tape should be used to secure extension cords to the floor.": Paper tape is not durable enough to secure cords and can easily tear, increasing the risk of tripping or cord damage. Only heavy-duty tape or cable covers specifically designed for electrical safety should be used. C. "Electrical items should be unplugged by grasping and pulling on the cord.": Pulling on the cord can damage wiring and increase the risk of electric shock or fire. Items should always be unplugged by gripping the plug itself to maintain cord integrity and safety. D. "Electrical items should be disconnected before cleaning them.": Disconnecting electrical devices before cleaning prevents accidental activation and reduces the risk of electric shock. This is a fundamental principle of electrical safety in healthcare and demonstrates correct understanding of safe practices.
