    The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is preparing for the admission of a client who was diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB). Which instruction should the practical nurse (PN) provide to the UAP?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Observe droplet precautions: TB requires airborne precautions, not droplet. B. Initiate airborne precautions: TB is spread via airborne droplet nuclei; requires negative pressure room and N95 respirator. C. Maintain standard precautions: Insufficient for TB because it does not address airborne transmission. D. Use protective isolation: Used for immunocompromised clients, not infectious TB cases.
