A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a group of newly admitted pediatric clients.For which of the following clients should the nurse recommend initiating contact precautions?

Choice A reason: Pneumonia is typically transmitted through respiratory droplets, and standard precautions are sufficient for preventing its spread. Choice B reason: Correct. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that requires contact precautions. This helps prevent the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause TB. Choice C reason: Haemophilus influenzae type B disease is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets, so standard precautions are generally sufficient. Choice D reason: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets, so standard precautions are generally sufficient. However, in some cases, droplet precautions may be recommended for infants and young children with severe RSV infections.
