Dustin, a 3-year-old boy, was admitted to the hospital with nephritic syndrome. The nurse should assign a roommate who is:
  1. a 3-year-old boy with pneumonia
  2. a 3-year-old girl with conjunctivitis
  3. a 3-year-old boy with impetigo
  4. a 3-year-old girl with thalassemia
Explanation
Answer: D - A 3-year-old boy with nephritic syndrome could be assigned a roommate like a 3-year-old girl with thalassemia. A child with nephotic syndrome is at high risk for infection due to the lowered resistance. The child with thalassemia will be a best roommate because it is not communicable.
