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?

Rationale: A. "Remove a plug from the socket by pulling the cord": Yanking the cord can damage the cord, loosen wiring, and increase the risk of sparks or electrical fire. The correct method is to grasp the plug firmly and pull it straight out to avoid strain on the wire connections. B. "Use three-pronged grounded plugs": Three-pronged plugs provide a grounding mechanism that reduces the risk of electric shock and fire. Grounded outlets redirect excess electricity safely into the ground if a fault occurs, making them a key part of electrical safety. C. "Check for a tingling sensation around the cord": A tingling sensation can indicate an electrical short or exposed wiring, which is a serious safety hazard. While it’s important to report and stop using such cords, the focus should be on prevention before such issues arise. D. "Cover extension cords with a rug": Covering cords with rugs can trap heat, cause insulation to wear down, and increase fire risk. Cords should be left uncovered and positioned to avoid foot traffic while maintaining ventilation to prevent overheating.
