Correct Answer : C,D,E
“I need to have a fire escape plan with my family,” “I will use the grab bars when getting in and out of the bathtub,” and “I need to check my medications for expiration dates” are all important home safety measures.
Choice A is wrong because setting the hot water heater to 140 degrees Fahrenheit is too high and can increase the risk of scalding.
The recommended temperature for a hot water heater is 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Choice B is wrong because applying tape over frayed areas of electrical cords is not a safe solution.
Frayed electrical cords should be replaced to prevent electrical hazards.
