Safety and Infection ControlQuestion 1461 of 2368

A client is admitted with suspected measles. Which room placement is appropriate?

  1. A private room with the door open
  2. A semiprivate room with the curtain pulled
  3. An airborne infection isolation room with the door closed
  4. A positive pressure room
Show answer

Correct answer: An airborne infection isolation room with the door closed

Measles spreads through small droplets that travel through the air, so the client needs an airborne infection isolation room with the door closed.
