Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is making a room assignment for a client who has scabies. In which of the following rooms should the nurse place the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A private room is the most appropriate choice for a client with scabies. Scabies is highly contagious and spreads through direct skin-to-skin contact or indirectly through contaminated items. Isolating the patient in a private room minimizes the risk of transmission to other patients and allows for better control of the environment, with contact precautions such as gloves and gowns. A negative-pressure room is for airborne diseases, a semi-private room risks cross-contamination, and a positive-pressure room is for immunocompromised patients, not scabies.
