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.
