Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The PPD is not a measure of being noninfectious.
Rationale 2: A normal WBC is not a measure of being noninfectious.
Rationale 3: Negative sputum culture and smear are the best indictors of the noninfectious state.
Rationale 4: The chest x-ray is not the primary indicator of the noninfectious state.
Global Rationale: Noninfectious state is determined by negative sputum cultures. No other measure is used.
