Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a toddler who is scheduled for surgery. Which of the following information should the nurse recognize as a potential risk for a latex allergy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: History of spina bifida. Spina bifida is a congenital condition associated with multiple surgeries and medical interventions, increasing exposure to latex products and thus the risk of developing a latex allergy. Suspected autism spectrum disorder (choice
A) is not directly linked to latex allergy. Diagnosis of hypospadias (choice
B) and previous cleft palate repair (choice
D) do involve surgeries but are not as strongly associated with latex exposure as spina bifida.

A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a parent of a child who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis and a new prescription for prednisone. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice B is incorrect because abruptly discontinuing prednisone can lead to withdrawal symptoms and worsening of the condition.
Choice C is incorrect as prednisone can cause low potassium levels, so limiting potassium-rich foods is not recommended.
