An adult patient is being evaluated for tuberculosis infection with a Mantoux
test. The PPD result is 10.5 mm. The patient denies weight loss, cough, and
night sweats, and the results of a chest x-ray are negative. The patient reports
that he is undocumented and is fearful about being reported to a government
agency. What is most appropriate for the nurse practitioner?
The nurse practitioner has a legal duty to report the patient to the local federal
agency responsible for people without documentation
The nurse practitioner is legally mandated to report people without
documentation to state authorities
The nurse practitioner should call the state health department to report that
the patient has a tuberculosis infection
The nurse practitioner has an ethical duty to provide quality health care to
patients
This is an old question written by ignorant people who don't know people are
NOT illegal! Rewritten to state lacks documentation.
The NP has an ethical duty to provide quality health care to patients
Explanation
Health caregivers are not legally required to report illegal citizens to the state
or local authorities. This patient does not have the signs and symptoms of
,active tuberculosis (TB) disease (cough, weight loss, night sweats) and has a
negative chest x-ray. Therefore, he has latent TB infection and is not
contagious. Only patients with active TB disease (has signs/symptoms) must
be reported to the state public health department.

to follow spiritual rules
An imbalance of the flow of energy in the body

to follow spiritual rules

for wrong actions or from failure to follow spiritual rules. Shamans "cure" the
illness by performing rituals and using herbal medicines. Medicine pouches
that are tied to the patient by a string are believed to help cure the illness. Do
not remove such pouches without the patient's (or parent's) permission.
