D) third prong of the grounded plug

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The patient return electrode (grounding pad) is responsible for delivering the alternating current back to the ESU generator. The active electrode pencil delivers the current to the tissue being treated, the foot control pedal controls the intensity and duration of the current, and the third prong of the grounded plug helps ensure the safety of the electrical system.
