A charge nurse is preparing to admit four new clients to the unit. Which of the following clients should the nurse assign to a private room?

A. A 32-year-old client who has chlamydia: Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that is not transmitted via airborne or droplet routes. Standard precautions are sufficient, and a private room is not required. B. A 50-year-old client who has Candida albicans: Candida infections are generally superficial and not highly contagious. Standard precautions are adequate, so a private room is not necessary. C. A 25-year-old client who has vaginal trichomonas: Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection and does not require isolation. Standard precautions are appropriate for this client. D. A 40-year-old client who has streptococcal pharyngitis: Streptococcal pharyngitis is transmitted via respiratory droplets. Placing the client in a private room or with another client who has the same infection helps prevent transmission, making a private room the most appropriate assignment.
