• A. BSN, RN
• B. at least 3 years experience
• C. Master's in public health

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Single drug therapy is not appropriate for TB due to the risk of developing resistance.

Choice C is correct as TB treatment, when completed successfully, renders patients non-infectious and cured. Choice D is also correct as tuberculosis is indeed a curable disease with appropriate treatment. Therefore, the incorrect statement is B.
