Which of the following items would not typically require verification as latex-free for a patient with a latex allergy?

For a patient with a latex allergy, it's essential to be cautious about items that might contain latex, as exposure can lead to severe allergic reactions. Surgical gloves, bandages, and catheters are commonly manufactured with latex and would typically require verification to ensure they are latex-free.

In the case of utensils, while some can be made from latex, most commonly used utensils in a medical setting (such as plastic or metal instruments) are not made from latex. Therefore, verifying utensils for latex content is generally less critical compared to the other items mentioned, which are more likely to incorporate latex in their construction. This makes utensils the item that does not typically require verification as latex-free for a patient with a latex allergy.
