A nursing student develops a positive reaction to the tuberculin skin test. A history reveals possible exposure to patients with tuberculosis. A sputum sample is acid-fast negative. When asked for vaccination records, the student reports that childhood vaccination records were lost when the family emigrated from a Southeast Asian country. What is the best explanation for the test results? O The student has been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis or was vaccinated with BCG vaccine (vaccine for TB). O The student is notinfected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. O l am just not sure. O The student has been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and spreading it to all they come in contact with.
