The NEC® specifies that tamper-resistant receptacles be installed in ___.

• A. Kindergarten classrooms
• B. Pediatric care rooms in hospitals
• C. Both a and b
• D. Neither a nor b

Answer: (C)

Tamper-resistant receptacles are designed to prevent children from inserting objects into outlets. They use spring-loaded internal shutters that only open when a plug is inserted into both slots at the same time, reducing shock and injury risk in spaces where kids are present. The NEC requires TRR in settings with children, which includes areas like kindergarten classrooms and pediatric care rooms in hospitals. Because both types of spaces involve children and a potential for tampering, both are covered by the requirement, making the choice that includes both correct.
