A nurse is teaching a client who is immunocompromised and requires a protective environment. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D: You will be placed in a positive-pressure airflow room. This is because a positive-pressure room helps prevent the entry of airborne pathogens, reducing the risk of infection for an immunocompromised individual.
A: Wearing a sterile gown outside the room is not necessary for protecting against airborne pathogens.
B: Sharing a room with another immunocompromised individual increases the risk of cross-infection.
C: While an N95 respirator mask is important for respiratory protection, it may not be sufficient in a protective environment with airborne pathogens.
In summary, the correct answer D is the most appropriate measure to ensure the safety and well-being of the immunocompromised client.
