Identify the fire hazard associated with oxygen therapy
Oxygen supports combustion and increases fire risk. Electrical equipment that can generate sparks, such as an electric razor, must be avoided near active oxygen therapy.
Evaluate the options
- A bedpan: Non-electrical, no spark risk.
- A blanket: Non-electrical, though wool/synthetic can create static, it is not a direct electrical spark source like a motorized appliance.
- An electric razor: Contains an electric motor that can produce sparks during operation, posing a severe ignition hazard in an oxygen-rich environment.
- A water pitcher: Non-electrical, no spark risk.
