Practice Question
The nurse is transporting a patient with active tuberculosis (TB) to radiology. Which action should the nurse take?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Place a N95 mask on the patient.
Rationale:
🔵 Tuberculosis is an airborne disease, and N95 respirators are required to prevent the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
🔵 The N95 mask protects others by filtering infectious airborne particles expelled by the client.
🔵 Surgical masks are not sufficient for airborne precautions, especially during transport.
🔵 Infection control guidelines prioritize respiratory protection over contact-based PPE like gowns or gloves in TB cases.
