A nurse is preparing a client's insulin regimen. Which of the following insulins can be mixed? (Select all that

apply.)

The nurse should include the statement that only health care staff providing care will see the client's medical record when reinforcing teaching about confidentiality. This statement emphasizes the importance of maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of the client's personal health information.

Explanation for the other options:

a. "Your nurse will provide information about the risks and benefits of surgical procedures." While it is important for the nurse to provide information about surgical procedures, this statement does not specifically address confidentiality.

c. "The provider must grant you access to your personal health information." This statement is related to the client's rights regarding access to their personal health information. While it is important to educate clients about their rights, it is not specifically focused on confidentiality.

d. "You have to authorize our providers to prescribe treatments for your condition." This statement is related to obtaining the client's consent for treatment, which is important but not directly addressing confidentiality.

When a client with active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) receives appropriate treatment and their sputum cultures consistently show negative results for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it indicates that the client is no longer contagious. Negative sputum cultures indicate that the infectious bacteria are no longer present or viable in the respiratory secretions, reducing the risk of transmitting the disease to others.

"You will need an annual TB skin test to see if the infection has returned": While it is important for individuals with a history of TB to undergo periodic screening, such as an annual TB skin test or interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), to detect latent TB infection or potential reactivation, this response is not specifically related to a client with active pulmonary TB.

"You will take medication to treat your illness for the rest of your life": This response is incorrect because active pulmonary TB is typically treated with a combination of antimicrobial medications for a specific duration, usually ranging from 6 to 9 months. It is not a lifelong treatment.

However, individuals with latent TB infection may require longer-term treatment to prevent the development of active TB disease.

"You can expect the medications to turn your urine a blue-green color": This response is incorrect as medications used to treat TB do not typically cause urine discoloration. Medications such as rifampin can cause various side effects, including orange discoloration of bodily fluids like urine, tears, or sweat, but a blue-green color is not associated with TB medications.
