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

Rationale: A. Check the cords of the IV pump for fraying: Inspecting electrical cords for fraying or damage is an important safety step before use. Damaged cords can cause electrical shock, fire hazards, or equipment malfunction, so this helps ensure safe operation. B. Remove the safety inspection sticker before plugging in the IV pump: Safety inspection stickers indicate that the device has passed electrical and functional safety checks. Removing them would eliminate visible proof of inspection and is not necessary for safe use. C. Ensure that the electric outlet has two prongs for the IV pump: Medical equipment such as IV pumps should be plugged into grounded three-prong outlets to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Two-prong outlets do not provide this grounding protection. D. Grasp the IV pump cord when unplugging it from the electrical outlet: Pulling on the cord can damage the internal wires and increase the risk of electrical hazards. The correct method is to grasp the plug itself when disconnecting from the outlet.
