There has been a large-scale community disaster and clients must be roomed together at the hospital. Who are appropriate roommates in light of infection risk principles?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
PID and coffee ground emesis (D) are non-infectious, making them suitable roommates. Varicella, pertussis, TB (A, E), and COPD with sputum (C) pose infection risks. AIIR (B) is for airborne infections, incompatible with heart failure.
