VATI PN Comprehensive Predictor 2020 Proctored Exam
A nurse is admitting a client who has active tuberculosis. Which of the following nursing interventions is appropriate?
Explanation & Rationale
A nurse admitting a client who has active tuberculosis should place the client in a room that is ventilated to the outside. This is an appropriate nursing intervention to prevent the spread of tuberculosis to others. The other options are not correct. b) The nurse does not need to wear a gown when delivering the client's food tray but should wear a mask and gloves. c) Visitors are not prohibited while the client's infection is active but should be limited and should wear masks. d) A tuberculin skin test is not necessary prior to discharge as the client has already been diagnosed with active tuberculosis.
