Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 8 MAS 182 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Tuberculosis and Airborne Precautions
Captions available
The idea
Tuberculosis is handled with airborne precautions under federal isolation guidance.
In practice
So a patient with suspected tuberculosis is handled like any airborne case: a separate room with the door closed, and staff wearing fitted respirators.
Where people slip
Suspicion is enough to start precautions. Do not wait for a test result to protect others.
