    A nurse in a provider's office is assessing a client. The nurse should identify that which of the following findings are manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis? (Select all that apply)

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Weight gain is not expected. Clients with pulmonary TB typically experience weight loss due to chronic infection and decreased appetite. B. High-grade fever is not typical. TB usually causes a low-grade fever, especially in the afternoon. C. Flushed cheeks are not a characteristic manifestation of TB. The client may appear pale and fatigued instead. D. Night sweats are a classic symptom of TB due to the body’s response to chronic infection. E. Blood in the sputum (hemoptysis) is a hallmark sign of pulmonary TB due to lung tissue damage and cavitation.
