Answer 1

A proper safety protocol to be observed by the nurse tending to the patient at home is that;

• B. The client uses non-acetone nail polish remover

Oxygen can be administered at home to patients who are critically ill. Oxygen is highly flammable, therefore, patients must make sure that they never use substances that can ignite or worsen a fire in the presence of oxygen.

Acetone is a ketone that is highly flammable. When used as a nail polish remover, it works more effectively than alcohol.

Since the client takes care not to use nail polish with this constituent, it shows that she is observing a safety protocol for the use of oxygen.
