一位病人疑似罹患肺結核（TB），護理師應採取何種隔離措施？
A client is diagnosed with suspected Tuberculosis (TB). Which type of isolation should the nurse initiate?
- AAirborne precautions✓ 正解空氣隔離措施
- BDroplet precautions飛沫隔離措施
- CContact precautions接觸隔離措施
- DProtective environment保護性環境隔離
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
肺結核（TB）經由空氣傳播（Airborne），病原體極小可懸浮於空氣中。因此，必須將病人安置於負壓隔離病房，並要求醫護人員配戴 N95 口罩。Droplet（飛沫）與 Contact（接觸）隔離層級不足以防護 TB 傳播。
Tuberculosis is transmitted via airborne particles that remain suspended in the air, necessitating airborne precautions such as a negative-pressure room and N95 respirators. Droplet and contact precautions are insufficient because they do not adequately protect against the inhalation of these small, infectious droplet nuclei.
✦ 台美臨床差異
台美皆嚴格遵守結核病空氣傳播規範，但在資源受限時，病房負壓監控的落實程度是品質指標差異。
