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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is room 208 (
Choice
C) for the client with a productive cough, questionable chest x-ray, and positive Mantoux test. Room 208 is a private, negative-pressure airflow room. Negative-pressure rooms are designed to prevent the spread of airborne infectious agents, making it the most appropriate choice for a client with potential tuberculosis (positive Mantoux test). Positive-pressure rooms like room 212 and 216 are not suitable for clients with infectious respiratory diseases as they can facilitate the spread of pathogens. Room 214, being a negative-pressure semi-private room, is less ideal than the private negative-pressure room 208 since it involves shared space, increasing the risk of transmission to other occupants.
