Question 1 of 5

An adult has been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis and is being discharged home with his wife and two young children. His wife asks how TB is passed from one person to another so she can prevent anyone from catching it. How should the nurse respond?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Tuberculosis is primarily spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings, releasing bacteria-containing droplets into the air. Therefore, it is important for the individual with TB to cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of the bacteria. By coughing into a disposable tissue or a handkerchief that can be washed in hot water, the risk of spreading the infection to others is significantly reduced. This measure helps minimize the transmission of the disease within the household and community.
