What safety measure should be implemented near oxygen in a nursing home?

  1. No talking signs

  2. No eating signs

  3. No smoking signs

  4. No drinking signs

The correct answer is: No smoking signs

Implementing "No smoking" signs near oxygen in a nursing home is essential for safety. Oxygen is highly flammable, and the presence of smoke or an open flame can dramatically increase the risk of fire and serious injury. When oxygen is in use, even the smallest spark can ignite materials that may not ordinarily burn because they are in an oxygen-enriched environment. Therefore, prohibiting smoking in areas where oxygen is stored or used helps prevent potential fire hazards, ensuring the safety of both residents and staff. While the other options may include safety measures relevant to different contexts, they are not directly relevant to the fire risk posed by oxygen. Hence, having "No smoking" signs is crucial for maintaining a safe environment in a nursing home setting.
