A home health nurse is teaching a family to prevent electrical shock. Which information will the nurse include in the teaching session?

The correct answer is B: Disconnect items before cleaning. This is important to prevent electrical shock as it ensures that there is no power running through the appliances while they are being cleaned. Running wires under the carpet (A) can lead to overheating and potential fire hazards. Grasping the cord when unplugging items (C) is unsafe as it can cause damage to the cord and increase the risk of electrical shock. Using masking tape to secure cords to the floor (D) is not recommended as it can lead to tripping hazards and damage to the cords.
