The nurse is receiving a 7-year-old girl diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia. The nurse plans to place the girl in which of the following rooms?
  1. The room nearest to the nurse station, with a 7-year-old girl diagnosed with a seizure disorder
  2. The room farthest from the nurse station, with a 9-year-old girl admitted due to diarrhea
  3. A room with a 6-year-old girl admitted for arm fracture.
  4. A reverse isolation room
Explanation
Answer: D - An immunocompromised child should be placed in a reverse isolation room to avoid contracting illnesses from visitors and other clients. The nurse should ensure that all health care providers perform hand washing and don a mask before entering the client’s room. Fresh flowers and fruits are not allowed inside the room. Be aware that not all facilities automatically place these clients in reverse isolation rooms.
