護理師正在照顧一位已知對乳膠過敏的病人。下列哪項措施對預防過敏反應至關重要?
A nurse is caring for a client with a known allergy to latex. Which action is essential to prevent an allergic reaction?
- AUse latex-free gloves for all patient care✓ 正解使用無乳膠手套進行所有病人照護
- BAvoid administering medications intravenously避免經靜脈給藥

乳膠過敏(Latex allergy)病人若接觸到含有乳膠蛋白的製品(如手套、導管、止血帶),可能引發從皮膚紅疹到嚴重過敏性休克(Anaphylaxis)的反應。在醫療照護中,使用無乳膠手套(Latex-free gloves)是預防接觸性過敏最直接且有效的手段。此外,護理師應確保所有使用的醫療耗材均為無乳膠材質,並在病房門口張貼警示標語。
Patients with a latex allergy who come into contact with products containing latex protein (such as gloves, catheters, or tourniquets) may experience reactions ranging from skin rash to severe anaphylactic shock. In a health-care setting, using latex-free gloves is the most direct and effective way to prevent contact allergy. In addition, the nurse should ensure that all medical supplies in use are latex-free and that warning signs are posted at the door of the patient's room.
