This resource developed by ASERT provides a visual explanation on wearing oxygen. This resource is designed to be used to help individuals understand the importance of wearing oxygen and the impact on their health.
I need to wear a tube in my nose to get oxygen to my body.
My body needs oxygen to work and stay healthy.
If I take my oxygen off, I can get very sick and have to go to the hospital.
If my oxygen tube is uncomfortable, I can ask staff for help but I need to leave it on.
It's important to wear my oxygen when I'm laying down or I may get very sick.
