A nurse is planning teaching for a client and their family about home oxygen therapy. Which of the following information should the nurse plan to include in the teaching?

A) Apply petroleum jelly to soothe the mucous membranes: This is not advisable, as petroleum jelly is flammable and can pose a risk when using oxygen. Instead, a water-based lubricant is safer for mucous membranes. B) Clean the equipment with an alcohol-based cleaning product: Alcohol is flammable and not recommended for cleaning oxygen equipment. Mild soap and water are more suitable for maintaining cleanliness. C) Avoid using nail polish remover around the client: This is the correct answer. Nail polish remover often contains acetone, which is flammable and should be avoided in environments where oxygen is in use to prevent fire hazards. D) Use synthetic fabrics for the client's bedding: This is incorrect. Natural fabrics like cotton are preferred because synthetic fabrics can create static electricity, increasing the risk of fire in the presence of oxygen.
