The most common potential problem that the nurse may face when administering oxygen using a liquid oxygen unit is that the unit may leak during warm weather. An oxygen concentrator increases the client's electric bill and produces an unpleasant odor or taste if the filter is not cleaned weekly. An oxygen concentrator also requires a secondary oxygen device in case of a power failure.
