Correct Answer: A

Question 4 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: A private, negative-pressure room (208) is ideal for suspected tuberculosis, preventing airborne pathogen spread. Semi-private rooms (214, 212) risk infecting others, and positive-pressure rooms (212, 216) are unsuitable for airborne infections.
