A home health nurse is reviewing safety with the family of a client who uses home oxygen therapy. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. Wool and synthetic fabrics are more flammable than cotton. Clients using oxygen should use cotton fabrics to reduce fire risk. Avoid materials that can easily ignite when oxygen is present. B. Oxygen tanks should always be stored upright and secured to prevent tipping, rolling, or damage. Storing tanks on their side increases the risk of leaks or injury. C. Families should inform local fire authorities when home oxygen is used so emergency responders are aware of the presence of highly flammable oxygen. This helps improve safety in case of a fire or emergency. D. Flow rates should only be adjusted according to the provider’s prescription. Improperly increasing oxygen flow can lead to oxygen toxicity, hypercapnia, or other complications, especially in clients with chronic lung disease.
