Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse has four new clients arriving on the unit for admission. Which of the following clients should the nurse place in airborne precautions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: A client who has tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is an airborne infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Airborne precautions are necessary to prevent the transmission of infectious agents that remain suspended in the air. Tuberculosis is transmitted through the air via droplet nuclei, which can be inhaled by others. Placing a client with tuberculosis in airborne precautions helps to reduce the risk of transmission to healthcare workers and other patients. Pneumonia (choice
B), shigella (choice
C), and strep throat (choice
D) are not typically transmitted through the air, so airborne precautions are not necessary for these conditions.
