Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has a latex allergy and is scheduled for surgery. Which of the following actions is appropriate to include in the client's plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Schedule the client as the first surgical procedure of the day. This is appropriate because scheduling the client as the first procedure minimizes the risk of exposure to latex particles in the operating room environment. As the first surgery of the day, there is less chance of latex being present from previous procedures, reducing the client's exposure and potential risk of an allergic reaction.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Removing the stopcocks from IV tubing does not directly address the risk of latex exposure during surgery.
B: Cleansing stoppers with povidone-iodine is not specific to preventing latex exposure.
C: Powdered gloves can contain latex proteins, increasing the risk of an allergic reaction.
Overall, scheduling the client as the first surgery is the most effective way to minimize latex exposure.
