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.
