Answer to Question 1

B
A Mantoux tuberculin skin test is used to screen for TB; a positive reaction indicates that the person has been infected with and has developed antibodies against the tubercle bacillus, but a negative reaction does not exclude the possibility of exposure to TB, particularly in those who are immunocompromised. Diagnosis of TB is confirmed by chest X-ray and sputum testing.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nursing interventions for clients having subtotal thyroidectomy include keeping the bed in semi-Fowler's position with head and shoulders supported by pillows. Keep suctioning equipment at bedside, monitor vital signs, and assess dressing, sides, and back of neck for drainage or bleeding.
