A nurse is using an IV pump for a newly admitted client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Remove the safety inspection sticker before plugging in the IV pump. The safety inspection sticker is proof that the equipment has passed a required check. It should not be removed, as doing so may violate facility policies and regulatory standards. B. Grasp the IV pump cord when unplugging it from the electrical outlet. Pulling on the cord rather than the plug itself can damage the cord or outlet and pose an electrical hazard. Always unplug by gripping the plug directly. C. Check the cords of the IV pump for fraying. Inspecting cords for fraying or damage is essential before using any electrical equipment. Damaged cords can lead to electric shock, equipment failure, or fire, and must be reported and replaced. D. Ensure that the electric outlet has two prongs for the IV pump. Medical equipment should be plugged into a three-pronged (grounded) outlet to prevent electrical shock. Two-prong outlets are not grounded and are inappropriate for hospital-grade devices.
