Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who has active tuberculosis to a room on a medical-surgical unit. Which of the following room assignments should the nurse make for the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A room with air exhaust directly to the outdoor environment. This is the most appropriate room assignment for a client with active tuberculosis to prevent the spread of the disease to other patients and healthcare workers. Tuberculosis is an airborne disease, so having the air exhaust directly to the outdoor environment helps to reduce the concentration of infectious particles in the room. Rooms within view of the nurses' station (choice
A) may not have proper ventilation, increasing the risk of transmission. Placing the client in the ICU (choice
B) may expose vulnerable patients to the disease. Assigning the client to a room with another nonsurgical client (choice
D) increases the risk of transmission to another individual.
Therefore, choice C is the best option to minimize the spread of tuberculosis.
