A nurse is providing discharge teaching about infection control at home for a client who has tuberculosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Rationale: A. "I will have to move out of my family's home until I am no longer contagious.": It is not necessary for the client to move out of the home, but precautions such as proper ventilation, wearing a mask, and isolating in a separate room can reduce the risk of transmission to household members during the contagious period. B. "I will place my used tissues in a plastic bag.": Disposing of used tissues in a sealed plastic bag helps contain respiratory secretions and prevent the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This is an appropriate infection control practice that demonstrates understanding of proper hygiene. C. "I will cover my mouth with my hands when I have to cough.": Covering the mouth is essential, but using the hands increases the risk of spreading bacteria through contact with surfaces. The client should be instructed to use a tissue or the inside of the elbow to minimize contamination. D. "I will not go in public areas until I am cured.": Total avoidance of public areas is not necessary, but the client should avoid crowded places and public transport during the initial phase of treatment, typically the first few weeks, when they are still contagious.
