Explanation / Answer

The correct option is c.

Explanation : Latex allergy is a serious concern in surgeries and if not looked upon carefully and with caution can lead to serious consequences which can even be fatal.

In the following example, scheduling the surgery as the first procedure of the day is the only correct option. This is so because when it is the first scheduled surgery it ensures that the necessary precautions are taken care of. Also if something goes wrong it can easily be taken care of.

Not using stopcocks is a risk and would cause inconvenience. Powdered gloves are latex Powdered. Therefore using them must actually be avoided and only synthetic gloves must be used.

Cleansing the stoppers with povidone iodine solution is only an antiseptic measure and would not help with latex allergy. Therefore rest of the options aren't applicable or correct.
