The NAAT is a new rapid test for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB).Results are available in less than 2 hours.A positive test is conclusive for TB,and the client should be placed in isolation per facility policy.A client with a negative QuantiFERON gold test would not have tuberculosis.Likewise,a client with a negative AFB would not have tuberculosis.The client with fever and weight loss could have tuberculosis,but diagnostic tests would be needed because these are nonspecific manifestations.
