Question 1 of 5

You are taking care of a patient who has active TB. The patient has been put on airborne precautions and is in a special room. You must wear a HEPA mask when you enter the room. Now, the patient has to leave the room and go to the radiology department. How can you transport this patient to the radiology department without spreading TB throughout the hospital?

A. Have everyone along the route to the radiology department wear a HEPA mask. B. Have patients along the route to the radiology department wear a HEPA mask. C. Have staff along the route to the radiology department wear a HEPA mask. D. Place a HEPA mask on the patient.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
To prevent the spread of TB throughout the hospital, it is essential to place a HEPA mask on the patient before transporting them to the radiology department. Expecting everyone along the route to wear a HEPA mask is not practical due to the high cost and the need for special fittings. Having patients or staff wear HEPA masks along the route is also not feasible and may not effectively contain the spread of TB.
