Answers: Q1 Most hospital ensure that all their staff hold all their needles included hepatitus etc., so that they dont catch it and outdo it on to others.
Q2 The hospital will will vaccinate anyone who is being employed by them against any preventable diseases
Q3 The cuff nor stethiscope can spread the disease, but to be extra vigilant you can sterilise the stainless steel portion or disinfect it.
TB is almost stamped out world wide, you dont say where on earth you live, just make sure your vaccinate against all of these diseases before going ahead, purely in case you are contained by a country that doesnt have a high standard for these things approaching australia, my friend had to have loads of shots to prevent her from getting any of these diseases and she freshly does the cleaning, so if they go to that length to cover the staff on a lower level, they should definately bear care of the more experienced staff. If they dont get them done yourself, better to be secure than sorry! Also my brother is a police officer and he had to get adjectives of the same needles, and so I suppose, do the ambulance and fire brigade, hope this helps, goodluck and hope you do resourcefully! :)
Like the other posts stated, you should be vaccinated prior to your clinicals.As for the TB patients, they will be placed in a refusal pressure room and you will be required to wear what is called a particulate mask that doesn't allow the airborne pathogen to get into.Most hospitals use disposable equipment in isolation rooms and will not allow you to take your own inside.There should be a disposable stethoscope and BP cuff available.
Also, you should know the signs and symptoms that are suspicious for TB(night sweats,weightiness loss,coughing up blood) and if found, report these to your teacher if the patient is not already on isolation.
As for adjectives of the other diseases out there, use Universal Precautions.

Good luck:)
No such thing as 100%, especially for TB, which have many strains.
But you can lower risks of infection by being especially careful with key hygiene.
You should clean of your stethoscope with alcohol regularly.
Since you are asking for method by which nurses protect themselves 100% from communicable disease, the answer is that they can't. Yes your equipment could carry the infection if it becomes contaminated. I believe you are the personality who is supposed to be answering these questions to show that you have be paying attention to lectures!
are you not vaccinated against TB?
(that may be a stupid Q, i know..)
