The nurse is at high risk for TB transmission when caring for a client who is HIV-positive, serving a prison sentence, or living with someone with active TB. These individuals are more likely to have active TB, which is the contagious form of the disease. Caring for a client in a pediatric clinic or a pregnant client does not necessarily increase the nurse's risk for TB transmission.
