A client had an annual tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) test, and the area of induration was 10 mm within 48 hours after planting. Which conclusion would the nurse make about the client's response to this diagnostic?
Induration measuring 10 mm or more in diameter is interpreted as significant; it does not indicate that active tuberculosis is present. About 90% of individuals who have significant induration do not develop the disease. Exposure to the tubercle bacillus indicates exposure; infection can be past or present.
