A nurse is completing a preadmission interview for a client who is to undergo surgery the following day. The client reports a latex allergy. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include when planning care for the client's surgery? (Select all that apply)

Correct Answer: B, C, E

Rationale:
B: Notifying ancillary departments of the client's latex allergy ensures they can prepare latex-free supplies and equipment, reducing the risk of exposure.
C: Labeling the surgical suite as latex-free helps prevent accidental exposure by alerting staff to the need for using latex-free products.
E: Ensuring a latex allergy cart is available provides quick access to latex-free supplies and medications in case of emergency.

Incorrect Choices:
A: Scheduling the client as the last surgery of the day does not directly address the latex allergy and may not prevent exposure.
D: Providing powdered gloves for staff use poses a risk as powder can contaminate the environment and exacerbate the client's allergic reaction.
Summary: The correct interventions focus on prevention and preparedness to minimize the client's risk of exposure to latex during surgery.
