One of the nurse technicians is showing symptoms of latex sensitivity. The nurse should
1. send the nurse technician to adepartment that does not use latex products.
2. contact the employee healthdepartment in the facility and obtain latex-free products for the nurse technician.wait until Monday to report theproblem to the supervisor of the unit.
4. assign the nurse techniciannonclient-care duties.
Answer:2
Rationale: When symptoms of sensitivity to latex occur on exposure,the employee health department of the facility should be contacted and latex-free products should be supplied. The other options are not realistic because the nurse technician may experience exposure on another unit (no hospital unit can be latex free);waiting until Monday does not solve the problem,and assigning the nurse technician nonclient-care duties may not be possible.
