Question

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about preventing burns (and related safety), we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Using space heaters in rooms is generally unsafe as they can cause fires or burns, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Smoking in bed is a major fire hazard and can cause severe burns, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Heating pads can be used safely with proper precautions (like following instructions), but the key here is the last option.
• Option 4: Oxygen supports combustion, so smoking where oxygen is used is extremely dangerous (fire risk, severe burns). This is a correct safety rule.

Answer:

O Clients cannot smoke where oxygen is used.
