Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Families and clients often have negative reactions to isolation precautions. The nurse can explain that the infection is the problem, not the client, and encourage them to visit because following the precautions will prevent them from acquiring the infection. The other options do not give the family useful information to help them make an informed decision.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This client has manifestations of smallpox, a public health emergency, and should be placed on Airborne Precautions first before other care measures are implemented.
