The instructions which the nurse should include on the list after treating a patient with tuberculosis include the following:

  • Activities should be resumed gradually.
  • A sputum culture is needed every 2 to 4 weeks once medication therapy is initiated.
  • Respiratory isolation is not necessary because family members already have been exposed.
  • Cover the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing and put used tissues in plastic bags.

<h3>What is Tuberculosis?</h3>

This refers to a disease which is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacteria attacks the lungs thereby resulting in symptoms such as coughing, weight loss etc.

After being treated, the patient can resume activities and don't need any  isolation but should ensure that the mouth and nose are covered and disposed properly when coughing.

A sputum culture is needed every 2 to 4 weeks once medication therapy is initiated so as to confirm the absence of the bacteria so as to discontinue drug usage.

Julli [10]

Answer:

28.2%.

Explanation:

Attack rate of any pathogen describes the speed or morbidity by which the new or emerging population is at risk by the attack of the pathogen.

The attack rate can be calculated by the formula:

Attack rate = people affected or at the risk of infection / Total population.

65 people are affected and 72 people also shows the symptoms.

Attack rate =  65 + 72 / 485

Attack rate = 137 / 485

Attack rate = 0.28.

The attack rate percent = 0.28 × 100 = 28%.

Hence, the answer is 28%.
