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. Notify the fire department that oxygen is in use in the home.: Informing the local fire department ensures they are aware of the increased fire risk and can respond appropriately in case of an emergency. Home oxygen increases combustion potential, and early notification enhances overall household safety planning. B. Increase the oxygen flow rate by 1 L if the client experiences dyspnea.: Changing oxygen flow rates without a prescription is unsafe because it can lead to CO₂ retention in some clients or inadequate oxygenation in others. Any adjustment to oxygen therapy must be made only by the provider to avoid complications. C. Store oxygen tanks on their side when not in use.: Oxygen tanks should always be stored upright and secured to prevent rolling or falling, which could cause tank rupture or high-pressure release. D. Replace the cotton blankets with wool and synthetic blankets.: Wool and synthetic materials can generate static electricity, which poses an ignition risk around oxygen. Cotton blankets are the safer option because they reduce friction and minimize static buildup.
