A charge nurse is planning an in-service for a group of nurses about caring for clients who have active tuberculosis. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include in the in-service?

Rationale: A. This option is correct because clients with active tuberculosis (TB) should be placed in a negative pressure (airborne infection isolation) room. Negative pressure prevents contaminated air from flowing into other areas of the facility, reducing the risk of airborne transmission. This is a key component of airborne precautions for TB. B. This option is incorrect because admitting a client to a semiprivate room, even with another client who has TB, does not provide adequate isolation. TB can be transmitted through airborne particles, and proper isolation in a negative pressure room is required to protect others. C. This option is incorrect because TB requires airborne precautions, not droplet precautions. Droplet precautions are used for infections transmitted via larger respiratory droplets, such as influenza, not for TB, which is spread by smaller airborne particles. D. This option is incorrect because instructing visitors to stand 1.83 m (6 ft) away is a measure for droplet precautions, not sufficient for airborne pathogens like TB. Airborne precautions require proper respiratory protection (N95 or higher respirator) and a negative pressure isolation room, not just physical distancing.
