Answer to Question 1

A
Innumerable products that contain latex are used in the operating suite and the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). When preparing for a patient with this allergy, special considerations are required from preparation of the room to the types of tubes, gloves, drapes, and instruments utilized. To ensure that the patient has a safe environment takes time, and if the correct supplies are not available, awaiting their arrival may cancel or delay the case. Obtaining vital signs, documenting, and administering medications are all part of the process and should be donewith the latex allergy in mind. However, making sure that the patient has a safe environment is the first step.
