⩥ Type I allergic reaction is a true latex allergy that can be life
threatening. Reactions vary on the basis of the type of latex protein and
the degree of individual sensitivity, including local and systemic.
Symptoms include hives, generalized edema, itching, rash, wheezing,
bronchospasm, difficulty breathing, laryngeal edema, diarrhea, nausea,
hypotension, tachycardia, and respiratory or cardiac arrest. Type IV
hypersensitivity is a cell-mediated allergic reaction to chemicals used in
latex processing. Reaction, including redness, itching, and hives, can be
delayed up to 48 hours. Localized swelling, red and itchy or runny eyes
and nose, and coughing may develop. Irritant dermatitis is a nonallergic
response characterized by skin redness and itching..

Answer: 10. A nurse is preparing a sterile field for a dressing change
using surgical aseptic technique. The nurse gathers supplies to prepare

⩥ c..
Answer: Avoid dropping sterile supplies close to the 1-inch border
around the drape.
, ⩥ d..
Answer: Leave the sterile field unattended to obtain needed supplies.
⩥ ANS:.
Answer: C
⩥ The exterior border of the sterile drape is presumed contaminated, so
all supplies must be kept within the sterile portion. Dropping supplies
too close to the 1-inch border risks having them bounce off the sterile
area. Nonsterile supplies are never to be placed on the sterile field. The
sterile field is never to be out of the nurse's line of sight. Sterile gloves
will not be applied until the sterile field is set up, and items needed to
deliver care are ready for use. Applying them earlier in the process risks
having them become contaminated..
