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

A. Grasp the IV pump cord when unplugging it from the electrical outlet: Pulling the cord instead of the plug can damage the wiring, create sparks, or cause electrical shock. Proper technique is to grasp the plug directly to safely disconnect the device. B. Check the cords of the IV pump for fraying: Inspecting cords for damage or fraying is a critical safety measure to prevent electrical shock, short circuits, or malfunction of the IV pump. This step is essential before every use to ensure safe operation and patient safety. C. Remove the safety inspection sticker before plugging in the IV pump: Safety inspection stickers indicate that the equipment has been tested and approved for use. Removing them is unsafe and unnecessary; they should remain intact to confirm compliance with safety standards. D. Ensure that the electric outlet has two prongs for the IV pump: IV pumps require grounded three-prong outlets to ensure electrical safety. Using a two-prong outlet eliminates grounding and increases the risk of electrical shock or equipment malfunction.
