Answer:

A) The nurse is likely asymptomatic, associated with the latent period.

Explanation:

Specifically the latent tuberculosis infections period  refers to the period  of antigen-antibody reaction where the body immune system  continually  reacts    to the stimulation by  antigens  of  mycobacterium tuberculosis. However because the immune system can still subdue the bacterium antigenic effects, no clinically manifested  signs or symptoms  of active TB is  observed. The stage of no signs and symptoms is called asymptomatic.

Answer:

if a nurse who provides weekly care in a homeless shelter has unknowingly inhaled airborne Mycobacterium tuberculosis and has subsequently developed latent tuberculosis infection then it is TRUE that "The nurse is likely asymptomatic."

Explanation:

for us to be able to understand this question we need to know what the key terms are such as;

Mycobacterium tuberculosis(M. tb) this is a species of pathogenic bacteria in the family Mycobacteriaceae and it causes tuberculosis. It was First discovered by Robert Koch, M. tuberculosis in 1882.

Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) this is a state of persistent immune response to stimulation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens without evidence of clinically manifested active TB. this is a state where someone is infected but the symptoms do not show.

Asymptomatic : this simply means showing no symptoms of the disease.

so by all the basis above we can conclude that the nurse is likely asymptomatic.

What response is appropriate when a client with hypertension declines to take prescribed antihypertensive medications because du
aksik [14]

Answer:

The appropriate response should be of informing the client that due to absence of symptoms hypertension is known as 'the silent killer'. The client declines to take the medications but he do not know that how dangerous this disease is. Due to lack of symptoms, many of the people are not aware that they have this disease, and it develops slowly with time and can't be cured but can be controlled by diet and medications. High blood pressure could result in chronic heart diseases and even stroke, renal and arterial diseases too. So, its better to take medication to manage your body's internal conditions.
