Question 5 of 5
The home nurse who is caring for an older person who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with continuous nasal oxygen is helping the family set up a humidifier in the room. The humidifier cord is not long enough to reach the outlet in the room and must be plugged into an extension cord. The extension cord is wrapped with black tape. When the nurse asks the family members about the tape, they reply that the cord is an old cord, and the electrical tape covers up the frayed part and makes it safe. They say a contractor friend told them how to make it safe. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A frayed cord poses a fire hazard, especially with oxygen use. Refusing to set up until a safe cord is available prioritizes safety.
