Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Cotton blankets can produce static electricity, which can be a fire hazard when using oxygen therapy. Therefore, it is important to use blankets made of non-flammable materials such as wool. If Mr. Bruce is not aware of this, he needs further discharge teaching instructions.
