She is required to show proof of a negative Mantoux (purified protein derivative [PPD]) test result before being hired. She came to your clinic 2 days ago to undergo a PPD test for TB.

What happens if J.P has a positive PPD test? What would be done next?




The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends screening people at high risk for TB. Name five groups of people that are at risk for developing active TB.  




J. P says since I will be exposed to more people because of my work if I get TB how long will I stay in the hospital. What is your reply? Include when a client can be discharged and any follow-up treatment.
