Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is planning a room assignment for a client who has a productive cough, a questionable chest x-ray, and a positive Mantoux test. Room 208 is a private, negative-pressure airflow room; room 212 is a semi-private, positive-pressure airflow room; 214 is a negative-pressure, semi-private room; and room 216 is a private, positive-pressure airflow room. To which of the following rooms should the nurse assign the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 208. The client with a productive cough, questionable chest x-ray, and positive Mantoux test likely has tuberculosis (T
B). Room 208 is a private, negative-pressure airflow room, which is ideal for containing airborne infections like TB. Negative pressure rooms prevent contaminated air from escaping, reducing the risk of transmission to others. Room 212, with positive-pressure airflow, would risk spreading the infection outside the room. Room 214, a negative-pressure semi-private room, may expose other patients to the infection. Room 216, a private positive-pressure airflow room, is not suitable for containing airborne infections.
Therefore, room 208 is the best choice to prevent the spread of TB.
