Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse must obtain permission from parents or guardians before testing minors (A), assure confidentiality of the test results (B), inform students about the minor pain associated with the test administration (D), and explain the rationale for the testing to both students and parents/guardians (E). Testing is not limited to students who were in physical contact with the infected student (C) because TB is airborne and can affect individuals who share the same air space with the infected person, not just those who had physical contact.
