    HESI RN Exit Proctored Exam

    The nurse is working on an infectious disease unit. Which client should be assigned to a room with negative airflow, while requiring personnel to use a particulate respirator mask, and requiring staff to observe airborne, as well as standard precautions?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Scabies requires contact precautions, not airborne isolation. B. Tuberculosis (TB) is transmitted via airborne particles, requiring a negative airflow room and use of a particulate respirator (e.g., N95 mask). C. Herpes simplex virus type II is transmitted through direct contact and does not require airborne precautions. D. Scarlet fever is spread through respiratory droplets, but it does not require airborne precautions or a negative pressure room.
