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: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 208. A client with a productive cough, questionable chest x-ray, and positive Mantoux test suggests tuberculosis (T
B), a contagious airborne disease. The best room assignment is a private, negative-pressure airflow room like room 208 because negative pressure prevents contaminated air from escaping the room, reducing the risk of transmission to others. Room 212 (
B) with positive pressure would push air out of the room, potentially spreading infection. Room 214 (
A) is a semi-private room, risking exposure to other patients. Room 216 (
C) with positive pressure would not contain the infectious particles within the room effectively.
Therefore, room 208 is the most appropriate choice for this client to prevent the spread of TB.
