A patient with TB asks how to protect family members from the disease. Which discharge instruction given by the nurse is most informative?
a. "Your family will need to take treatments to prevent infection."
b. "You will need to wear a mask at home to protect your family members."
c. "You should always cover your mouth and nose if coughing or sneezing."
d. "You should avoid intimate contact with everyone."

Covering the mouth and nose to prevent droplet spread and carefully disposing of tissues are two significant way to control the spread of infection. Masks or isolation is not necessary because before discharge, the patient will have been stabilized on an anti-TB medication.
