Rn Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Proctored Exam - St. Joseph
A nurse is providing teaching at a community health fair about electrical fire prevention. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Covering extension cords with rugs traps heat and can cause insulation breakdown, leading to electrical fires, this practice should be avoided. B. Pulling a plug out by the cord damages the wire and insulation, increasing fire and shock risk. The plug should be removed by grasping the plug head itself. C. A tingling sensation indicates possible electrical leakage or damage; cords with this issue should be discarded, not used. D. Three-pronged grounded plugs provide a safe path for stray electrical currents, reducing the risk of electrical fires and shocks. This is a key electrical safety measure in the home.
