A nurse would be most concerned by which of the following client room assignments?
  1. A client with tuberculosis is placed in a room with negative air pressure
  2. A client diagnosed with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus placed in a room with a client with third degree burns on both arms
  3. A client with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a private room
  4. A client diagnosed with salmonella placed in a room with another client diagnosed with gastroenteritis
Explanation
Answer: B - A client with MRSA should be placed in a private room or with another MRSA-colonized client. If cohorting is not possible, the MRSA-colonized client can be placed in a room with another client who is not at high risk for infections. A client with third-degree burns can easily get infected because of severe impaired integrity of the skin.
