Each employee in a small community hospital is informed that he or she needs a tuberculin skin test and of the date that the test is due. The kitchen employees tell the nurse that they don't need the test and never had to have it before.
 
  The nurse should respond with:
  A) The test does not need to be given if you do not have client contact.
  B) Tuberculosis guidelines require testing of an entire healthcare setting.
  C) The test will not hurt; we won't fire you if you test positive.
  D) The tuberculosis guidelines state kitchen workers are at risk.

Ans: B
Feedback:
The 2005 tuberculosis (TB) infection control guidelines emphasize actions to maintain momentum and expertise needed to avert another TB resurgence and to eliminate the lingering threat to healthcare personnel, which is mainly from clients or others with unsuspected and undiagnosed infectious TB disease. A sample recommendation is that the term tuberculin skin tests be used rather than purified protein derivative. The scope of settings in which the guidelines apply has been broadened to include laboratories and additional outclient and nontraditional healthcare settings. These recommendations also apply to an entire healthcare setting rather than to areas within a setting.
