Question

a nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who is going home on continuous liquid oxygen therapy. which of the following instructions should the nurse include? \place the oxygen tank in a clutter - free environment.\ \keep the oxygen tank at least 6 feet away from a heat source.\ \ensure you are close to electricity when you use your oxygen tank.\ \turn the valve on the oxygen tank until an alarm sounds.\

Explanation:

Oxygen is highly flammable. A clutter - free environment reduces fire risks and allows easy access to the tank. Keeping it at least 6 feet from heat sources minimizes the chance of ignition. Electricity can cause sparks which are dangerous near oxygen, so being close to it is not advisable. Turning the valve until an alarm sounds is incorrect and potentially dangerous.

Answer:

A. "Place the oxygen tank in a clutter - free environment."
B. "Keep the oxygen tank at least 6 feet away from a heat source."
