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

Rationale: A. Negative air pressure rooms are required for airborne infections like TB or measles, not RSV. B. Airborne precautions are unnecessary; RSV is spread by droplet and contact, so droplet/contact precautions are appropriate. C. Keeping a thermometer in the room prevents the spread of RSV to other clients by avoiding shared equipment. Dedicated equipment helps reduce transmission. D. Playing in the common room is unsafe because RSV is highly contagious; the child should remain isolated from other children.
