A nurse is performing an environmental assessment of a client's home. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a safety hazard?

A. Extension cords placed under area rugs: Placing extension cords under rugs creates a fire hazard and increases the risk of electrical shock. It can also cause trips and falls if the cords shift or become damaged, making it an unsafe environmental practice. B. Refrigerator temperature is 3.3° C (38° F): This temperature is within the recommended safe range for storing perishable food, helping prevent bacterial growth. It does not pose a safety hazard. C. Covers placed on unused electrical outlets: Outlet covers prevent children from inserting objects into outlets, reducing the risk of electrical shock. This is considered a positive safety measure, not a hazard. D. A lamp plugged directly into a wall outlet: Plugging a lamp directly into a wall outlet is standard and safe when the outlet is not overloaded. It does not present a hazard under normal use.
