The nurse should wear a particulate respirator (N95) when providing care to a client with a diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB).

Tuberculosis is an air-borne disease that spreads by inhaling infected droplets. It is caused by a bacteria known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The primary organs that are affected by TB are the lungs. TB infections can also affect other organs/systems like meninges, lymph nodes, genito-urinary tract, peritoneum, pericardium, etc. The signs or symptoms of tuberculosis include chronic cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss.

The treatment for tuberculosis includes the prescribed medications along with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Medical professionals should ensure the medication is taken regularly.

Proper precautions should be taken while caring for a client with tuberculosis. The nurse should first wash hands, put on a gown, and wear an N-95 respirator or mask, face shield, and gloves. The patient should be asked to cover his mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing. The patient should not be allowed to move out of the isolation room unless mandatory.

N-95 mask is recommended because it can be worn more than once unlike a surgical mask which is disposed of after being used once.
