A nurse is making a room assignment for a 12-year-old boy with a brain concussion. The nurse determines to place the boy in a room with which of the following clients?
  1. A 3-year-old boy who had a club foot repair
  2. A 12-year-boy with rheumatic fever
  3. A 12-year-old boy with measles
  4. A 10-year-old boy with a fractured leg
Explanation
Answer: D - A 12-year old child with brain concussion should be placed in a room with a non-infectious client who is about the same age as the boy. A client with rheumatic fever or measles is not an ideal roommate for a client with brain concussion. The 3-year-old who had a club foot repair and the 10-year-old boy with a fractured leg are both non-infectious, but based on the growth and developmental needs of the 12-year-old client with concussion, he must be assigned to a room with a boy who is about the same age.
