Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A. Have the client wear a mask.
Rationale: Having the client wear a mask is essential to prevent the spread of TB bacteria through respiratory droplets. The mask will contain the infectious particles and protect others from exposure during transport. This is a crucial step in maintaining airborne precautions and reducing the risk of transmission.
Incorrect
Choices:
B: Asking the X-ray technician to come to the client's room with a portable X-ray may not be feasible or necessary for routine chest x-rays.
C: Notifying the x-ray department is important, but having the client wear a mask is a more direct and effective precaution to prevent transmission.
D: While wearing a filtration mask and gloves during transport is a good practice for the nurse, having the client wear a mask is the primary method to contain the infectious particles.
