Title: The 95-year-old nursing home client has a productive cough and night sweats. Whe Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 5, 2014 The 95-year-old nursing home client has a productive cough and night sweats. When she is tested for tuberculosis with a PPD, the injection site does not have a skin response of induration by 48 hours after the injection. What is the correct interpretation of this finding?
A. The test is negative and airborne precautions are not necessary because the client does not have tuberculosis. B. The test is negative; however, airborne precautions are still necessary until other test results for tuberculosis are also negative. C. The test is negative and airborne precautions are still necessary because the client probably has a bacterial pneumonia. D. The test is negative and airborne precautions are not necessary because the client has sufficient antibodies against the tuberculosis bacillus.
