Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A client who is in oxygen therapy should have safety measures implemented in order to prevent explosion. Use of electric shavers or hair dryers while the oxygen is running is not allowed. Combing a client's hair can also create a spark of electricity from his hair that could set off an explosion. The face mask can be removed if the client wishes to eat and converse with visitors. Use of cotton bedclothes is also encouraged to decrease static electricity.
