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 should remain on the device to confirm that it has been tested and is safe to use. Removing it eliminates proof of its inspection status and compliance. B. Grasp the IV pump cord when unplugging it from the electrical outlet: Pulling the cord rather than the plug can damage the internal wiring and increase the risk of electrical shock or equipment failure. The plug should be grasped firmly at the base. C. Ensure that the electric outlet has two prongs for the IV pump: Medical equipment, including IV pumps, should be plugged into a three-pronged grounded outlet to ensure safe operation and reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire. D. Check the cords of the IV pump for fraying: Inspecting the cords for damage before use is a standard safety measure. Frayed or damaged cords pose a serious electrical hazard and the device should not be used until repaired or replaced.
