Question 1 of 5

Question 2 of 5

A 52-year old female patient is receiving medical treatment for a possible tuberculosis infection. The patient is a U.S. resident but grew-up in a foreign country. She reports that as a child she received the BCG vaccine (bacille Calmette-Guerin vaccine). Which physician's order below would require the nurse to ask the doctor for an order clarification?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Patients who have received the BCG vaccine will have a false positive on a PPD (Mantoux test), which is the tuberculin skin test. The BCG vaccine is a vaccine to prevent TB. It is given in foreign countries to children to prevent TB.
Therefore, the person has already been exposed to the bacteria via vaccine and will have a false positive. A QuantiFERON-TB Gold test is a better option for this patient. It is a blood test.
