Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis ( 35 Questions)

A client is concerned about contracting tuberculosis (TB) while traveling to countries with a high TB burden. What advice should the nurse provide regarding prevention?


Correct Answer: D

A) Incorrect. Avoiding close contact alone may not be sufficient, as TB is primarily transmitted through the inhalation of respiratory droplets.

B) Incorrect. While wearing a surgical mask may offer some protection, it is not foolproof, especially in high-burden areas.

C) Incorrect. The BCG vaccine provides some protection against severe forms of TB in children but is not considered highly effective for preventing TB in adults.

D) Correct. Following good respiratory hygiene and avoiding crowded, poorly ventilated areas are essential measures to reduce the risk of TB transmission in high-burden areas.
