Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Chest Pain. Chest pain is not typically an initial sign or symptom of tuberculosis. The most common initial signs and symptoms include fatigue, morning cough, and lethargy. Monitoring for these symptoms is crucial in detecting tuberculosis early for prompt treatment. Chest pain may occur in later stages or due to complications but is not a primary indicator. Thus, the nurse should focus on observing for fatigue, morning cough, and lethargy as initial signs of tuberculosis in individuals at the homeless shelter.
