Question 1 of 5
A nurse teaches a client with tuberculosis (TB) who is being discharged. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because a client with TB should not return to work immediately due to the risk of spreading the infection. Taking medication as prescribed (A), having regular follow-up chest x-rays (B), and using tissues to cover the mouth when coughing (D) are all important aspects of managing TB and preventing its spread. Returning to work immediately can put coworkers at risk of contracting TB. Therefore, the client should understand the importance of taking precautions and following healthcare provider recommendations to ensure proper treatment and prevent transmission of the disease.
