The emergency triage nurse should perform which action upon receiving the history that a client has a severe cough, fever, night sweats, and body wasting?
A.
Place the client in the waiting room until an available cubicle is open.
B.
Seclude the client from other clients and visitors.
C.
Perform no intervention because it might not be necessary until tests confirm a disease.
Suggested Answer:B🗳️
The client is describing signs and symptoms of tuberculosis. The client is potentially infectious to others and should be secluded. A respirator mask should be worn by caregivers, but it is not necessary for the nurse to don a gown and gloves. If the client is moved to other areas such as radiology, a mask should be worn by the client and a respirator mask should be worn by those working in close contact with the client.
