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

Placing the client in a private room helps prevent the spread of the mites to other patients and staff, enabling effective contact precautions. A negative-pressure room is for airborne infections, a semi-private room increases cross-contamination risk, and a positive-pressure room is unsuitable as scabies is not airborne.
