    A nurse is admitting a toddler who has respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Airborne precautions are not necessary for RSV. Contact and droplet precautions are recommended. B. Keeping the thermometer in the toddler's room helps prevent cross-contamination and the spread of infection to other patients. C. Negative air pressure rooms are typically used for airborne pathogens, which are not required for RSV. D. Allowing the toddler to play in the common room could expose other children to the virus, which is highly contagious.
