PN COMPREHENSIVE PREDICTOR 2023 PROCTORED EXAM
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who was newly admitted and has tuberculosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse recommend Including in the plan of care?
Explanation & Rationale
Choice A Reason: Contact precautions are not sufficient for tuberculosis (TB), which is an airborne infection. Instead, airborne precautions should be initiated. Choice B Reason: Increasing the client's daily intake of vitamin D may be considered as a complementary measure to support the immune system. Choice C Reason: Performing tuberculin skin testing (TST) is a diagnostic test for TB but is typically not included in the plan of care for a newly admitted client with confirmed TB. Choice D Reason: Placing the client in a positive-pressure isolation room is not the recommended isolation method for clients with TB. Negative-pressure isolation rooms help prevent the spread of infectious airborne diseases like TB.
