Extract:
A nurse is collecting a sputum specimen from a client who has tuberculosis.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because obtaining the specimen immediately upon the client waking up is crucial for accurate results in sputum collection. In the morning, the sputum is usually more concentrated and provides a better sample. Waiting or collecting at other times may lead to diluted or contaminated samples, affecting test results.
Choice B is incorrect as it suggests delaying collection, which could compromise the accuracy of the test.
Choice C is incorrect because the amount specified is too high for sputum collection, risking contamination.
Choice D is incorrect as sterile gloves are not always necessary for sputum collection, regular gloves are usually sufficient.
