A nurse is preparing a client who has a latex allergy for surgery. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

A. "Use IV tube ports when injecting medications." Latex-free IV ports should be used instead of rubber stoppers found in some IV bags and vials. B. "Remove medication from multi-dose vials with the stopper in place." Many vial stoppers contain latex, so the nurse should use single-dose vials or vials labeled as latex-free. C. "Secure loose cords in stockinette with tape." Stockinettes are sometimes made with latex, posing a risk to the client. Non-latex materials should be used instead. D. "Schedule the client's surgery as the last procedure of the day." Clients with latex allergies should be scheduled first to minimize exposure to airborne latex particles from gloves and equipment used earlier in the day.
