Question

50 multiple choice 1 point which type of precaution should be implemented for a patient with active tuberculosis? droplet precautions standard precautions only airborne precautions contact precautions clear my selection

Explanation:

Tuberculosis is spread through small - particle aerosol nuclei that remain suspended in the air for long periods. Airborne precautions are used for diseases transmitted this way. Droplet precautions are for larger droplets that do not remain suspended in air. Standard precautions alone are not sufficient as they do not address airborne transmission. Contact precautions are for diseases spread by direct or indirect contact.

Answer:

C. Airborne precautions
