A client diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB) is to be admitted to a medical-surgical unit. Which action should the nurse take when planning a bed assignment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: According to category-specific (respiratory) isolation precautions, a client with TB requires a private room. The room needs to be well ventilated and should have at least 6 to 12 exchanges of fresh air per hour and should be ventilated to the outside if possible. Therefore, option 1 is the only correct choice.
