All of the following items should be included as part of a latex allergy cart to reduce the exposure to latex for a sensitive patient EXCEPT:
  1. Stethoscope
  2. Bed sheets
  3. IV tubing
  4. Gloves
Explanation
Answer: B-Bed sheets are not necessarily part of a latex allergy cart for patients with this specific condition. Latex products contribute to an allergy when particles are in the air, and bed sheets may collect allergen particles, but are not necessarily created with latex. However, some types of underpads that are placed on beds to absorb liquids may contain latex and latex-free alternatives should be provided on the cart.
