A nurse is caring for a client who has HIV and is neutropenic. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as increasing the risk for the client to develop an infection?

A. The client is assigned to a room with negative airflow. Negative airflow rooms are used for airborne infection isolation, such as for tuberculosis, not for neutropenic clients. Neutropenic clients should be placed in a positive airflow room to reduce exposure to airborne pathogens. B. The client has artificial flowers in the room. Fresh flowers and potted plants can harbor bacteria and fungi, increasing the risk of infection. However, artificial flowers do not pose this risk and are generally considered safe. C. The client's meal tray contains hard-boiled eggs. Fully cooked eggs are safe for neutropenic clients. Raw or undercooked eggs, such as those in soft-boiled or poached form, should be avoided due to the risk of bacterial contamination. D. The client's meal tray includes ice cream with fresh fruit. Fresh fruit can harbor bacteria and fungi that pose a risk of infection for neutropenic clients. Unless thoroughly washed and peeled, raw fruits and vegetables should be avoided to minimize the risk of exposure to harmful pathogens.
