Question 1 of 5

A nurse is administering a tuberculosis skin test to a client who has AIDS. Which of the following

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decreased positive predictive value. In clients with AIDS, their compromised immune system can lead to false-negative results on the tuberculosis skin test. This decreases the test's ability to accurately predict the presence of tuberculosis if the result is positive.
Choice B, decreased reliability, is not specific to the client's condition in this scenario.

Choices C and D, decreased sensitivity and specificity, respectively, are not directly impacted by the client having AIDS and are more related to the test's overall performance characteristics.
