Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxygen can be dangerous and safety measures are used to control the risk. These include keeping cylinders in designated stands, turning the flowmeters off when they are not in use, and checking the amount of oxygen left in the cylinder before use. There should be >500 psi remaining. The nurse should not carry, drag, or roll the cylinder as this may damage the valve, creating a high velocity projectile.
