Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An airborne infection isolation room is the isolation for persons with a suspected or confirmed airborne infectious disease transmitted by the airborne route such as measles, varicella, or tuberculosis. Pertussis, influenza, and scarlet fever require droplet transmission precautions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Further data must be gathered before the diagnosis of enuresis is made. Enuresis is the inappropriate voiding of urine at least twice a week. This child does meet the age criterion, but the parents need to be questioned about and keep a diary on the frequency of events. If the bedwetting is infrequent, parents can be encouraged that the child may grow out of this behavior. Drug therapy will not be prescribed until a more complete evaluation is done. Additional assessment information must be gathered, but at this time, there is no indication of renal disease.
