Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to admit a 6-year-old with varicella to the pediatric unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Assign the child to a negative air pressure room. Varicella, or chickenpox, is highly contagious and spread through the air. Placing the child in a negative air pressure room helps prevent the spread of the virus to other patients and healthcare workers. Using droplet precautions (choice
A) is not sufficient as airborne precautions are more appropriate for varicella. Administering aspirin (choice
B) is contraindicated in varicella due to the risk of Reye's syndrome. Assessing for Koplik spots (choice
D) is not relevant as they are associated with measles, not varicella.
