A nurse is collecting data from a client who has pulmonary tuberculosis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. High fever in the early morning: Fever associated with tuberculosis typically occurs in the afternoon or evening and is usually low-grade. Early morning high fever is not a common presentation. B. Increased appetite: Clients with tuberculosis often experience weight loss and decreased appetite due to chronic infection and systemic inflammation. Increased appetite is not characteristic of the disease. C. Edema: Edema is not a typical finding in pulmonary tuberculosis. Fluid retention is not commonly associated with this condition unless there are complications such as hypoalbuminemia or cardiac involvement. D. Fatigue: Fatigue is a common symptom of tuberculosis due to chronic infection, immune response, and the body’s increased metabolic demands. It often presents as persistent tiredness and malaise.
