護理師照護一位疑似肺結核且需採取空氣傳播防護的病人，進入病房前必須執行哪項措施？
A nurse is caring for a client on airborne precautions for suspected tuberculosis. Which action is essential for the nurse to perform before entering the room?
- AWear a full-body gown穿全身隔離衣
- BPerform hand hygiene執行手部衛生
- CFit-test an N95 respirator✓ 正解進行 N95 呼吸器密合測試
- DDon a surgical mask戴上外科口罩
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
肺結核屬於空氣傳播疾病，病原菌在空氣中懸浮時間久，必須使用過濾效能至少 95% 的 N95 口罩。護理師進入前必須確保 N95 已通過密合度測試，以確保防護效果，這是預防醫療照護相關結核病感染的關鍵。
Tuberculosis is transmitted via airborne droplet nuclei, requiring strict airborne precautions. Before entering the room, the nurse must wear a fit-tested N95 respirator to ensure effective filtration of these small particles. Standard surgical masks do not provide adequate protection against airborne pathogens, and while hand hygiene is essential, the N95 is the specific priority for this isolation type.
