Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The client requires airborne precautions and is receiving multidrug therapy. Which of the following precautions should the nurse take to transport the client safely to the radiology department for a chest x-ray?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A: Have the client wear a mask.
Rationale: Having the client wear a mask is crucial to prevent the spread of TB bacteria through droplet transmission. This mask will help contain the infectious particles when the client coughs or speaks, reducing the risk of transmission to others. Additionally, this precaution aligns with the standard protocol for airborne precautions in TB cases.
Summary of other choices:
B: While wearing a filtration mask and gloves is important for healthcare providers, having the client wear a mask is more effective in preventing the spread of TB.
C: Notifying the x-ray department is important, but having the client wear a mask is a more direct and immediate precaution.
D: Asking the x-ray technician to come to the client's room may not be feasible or necessary for a routine chest x-ray.
E, F, G: No other choices provided.
