Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching about disease prevention to a client who has active tuberculosis. Which of the following should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A
Rationale:
1. Covering nose and mouth with tissues when coughing helps prevent the spread of TB bacteria through respiratory droplets.
2. It promotes respiratory hygiene and reduces the risk of infecting others.
3. This practice is essential in preventing the transmission of TB to family members, friends, and the community.
Summary of other choices:
B: Recommending returning to work after two negative sputum cultures is incorrect as TB treatment usually lasts 6-9 months.
C: Instructing the client that he is no longer contagious after 1 week of medication therapy is incorrect as TB remains contagious until treatment is completed.
D: Teaching the client's family to wear protective masks while with the client is unnecessary if proper cough etiquette is maintained.
