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: The correct answer is A: Have the client wear a mask. This is the most appropriate precaution to ensure the safety of others during transport. The mask worn by the client will help contain any infectious droplets expelled during coughing or sneezing, reducing the risk of transmission to others.
Option B is incorrect because while it is important to notify the x-ray department of the client's condition, it does not directly address the safety precautions during transport. Option C is unnecessary for the client to wear a filtration mask and gloves during transport as it is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to implement necessary precautions. Option D is not ideal as using a portable x-ray in the client's room may not provide the necessary diagnostic quality required.
