A nurse is assessing a client who is preoperative and reports an allergy to bananas.

The nurse should recognize that the client is at risk for an allergic cross-reactivity to which of the following substances?

Latex.

Anesthetics.

Povidone-iodine.

Adhesive tape.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A banana allergy is often connected to a latex allergy.
This is because some of the proteins in the rubber trees that produce latex are known to cause allergies, and they are similar to the proteins found in some nuts and fruits, including bananas.
This syndrome is known as latex-food syndrome or latex-fruit allergy.
Choice B is not the answer because there is no known cross-reactivity between bananas and anesthetics.
Choice C is not the answer because there is no known cross-reactivity between bananas and povidone-iodine.
Choice D is not the answer because there is no known cross-reactivity between bananas and adhesive tape.
