A nurse is caring for a patient receiving oxygen therapy. The nurse identifies that the patient has dry nasal passages and irritation. To alleviate this, the nurse should:

  • Increase the oxygen flow rate.
  • Discontinue oxygen therapy.
  • Consider adding humidification to the oxygen delivery system.
  • Apply petroleum jelly inside the nostrils.
