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

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. RSV is spread primarily through droplets, not airborne, so airborne precautions are not necessary. B. The toddler should not be placed in a semiprivate room due to the risk of spreading the infection to other children. C. Negative pressure rooms are for airborne diseases like tuberculosis and are not needed for RSV. D. RSV is spread via respiratory droplets and contact, so contact precautions should be implemented to prevent transmission.
