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.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

- First, place some gauze pads or a clean cloth on the wound and hold for 10 minutes.

- If the gauze or cloth becomes soaked with blood, without removing it, place another on top and continue pressing for another 10 minutes.

- If the blood does not stop flowing, place the wound raised upwards to avoid excessive bleeding.

While you call an Emergency Ambulance.  

Explanation:

Bleeding usually occurs from a cut or trauma that causes the blood vessels to break.

An arterial hemorrhage occurs when the outflow of blood comes from the circulatory system to the outside caused by the rupture of an artery.

Until the artery closes or the wound is cauterized, blood is likely to continue to flow until the person shows symptoms of confusion, slow heart rate, and shock that ultimately leaves the person to bleed to death.
