Not true.

Animals have distinct ventral and dorsal portions, hence this is untrue. Animals' abdomens are referred to as ventral because they are on the bottom, while their backs are referred to as dorsal because they are on the top.

Humans are bipedal, thus everything farther back or close to our hind end is referred to as posterior, while anything higher in position or close to our head is referred to as anterior.

It is not always possible to use anterior/ventral and posterior/dorsal interchangeably. In contrast to ventral, which is more oriented toward the belly or abdomen, anterior denotes closer to the head or front end of the body.

While these terms can be used interchangeably when referring to human anatomy, it is incorrect to do so when discussing four-legged animals.

A nurse is caring for a client with a latex allergy. What steps should the nurse take when initiating an IV line on this client
viktelen [127]

Nurse should Wear medical alert identification. Carry an epinephrine (adrenaline) auto-injector for emergency treatment.

When a client is having latex allergies a nurse should use sterile latex free examination gloves where exposure to blood or body fluids are anticipated should be worn to protect the staff member. Vinyl gloves should be worn for food service only.

Latex allergies can be avoided by avoiding oil-based creams or lotions when using latex gloves. They may cause the gloves to break down. Wash hands with a mild soap and dry hands completely after using gloves. If a nurse is using latex gloves, she should also use powder-free gloves with reduced protein content. Such gloves reduce exposures to latex protein and thus reduce the risk of latex allergy.
