Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: This is appropriate as latex allergies can be life threatening. Many pieces of medical equipment may contain latex.
Rationale 2: Nurses do not prescribe or dispense medication, so this is inappropriate.
Rationale 3: This action should be taken but is not the priority.
Rationale 4: Depending on hospital policy, there may be some sign to indicate allergies, but this is not the priority.
