A nurse is inspecting a client's IV pump prior to use. Which of the following findings should the nurse tag and report as a safety hazard?

Choice A reason: Taping the cord to the floor is not ideal, but it is not an immediate safety hazard if done to prevent tripping. It should be monitored, but it does not require tagging the pump. Choice B reason: An electrical plug with only two prongs is unsafe because medical equipment requires a three-prong grounded plug to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This is a clear safety hazard and must be reported, making it the correct answer. Choice C reason: Plugging the pump into an unused outlet is appropriate and safe. It ensures the device has a dedicated power source. Choice D reason: Having a free-flow protective device is a safety feature, not a hazard. It prevents accidental infusion of large amounts of fluid when the tubing is disconnected from the pump.
