Practice Question

Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Allergy to kiwis and avocados.
Rationale:

🍃This is due to similar protein structures that trigger immune hypersensitivity reactions.
🍃A history of such allergies raises concern for latex sensitivity in medical settings.
🍃Recognizing this association helps prevent life-threatening anaphylaxis during procedures.
🍃Nurses should always assess for food allergies linked to latex when screening preoperatively.
