Positive Event Queries: Sample Questions
SAMPLE QUESTION 1
TIP FOR THE BEGINNING NURSING STUDENT
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease of the lung caused by the acid-fast bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is generally transmitted by the inhalation or ingestion of infected droplets and usually affects the lungs, although infection of multiple organ systems can occur. It is a major public health concern because of its infectious nature. Because of the presence of the acid-fast bacillus in the lung, the way that the infection is confirmed is by its presence in the sputum. You may have already learned about this disease during your microbiology course, but will learn more about it when you study the respiratory system and infectious diseases. Be sure to learn about this infectious disease.
