A charge nurse is planning a room assignment for a client who has a productive cough, a questionable chest x-ray, and a positive Mantoux test. Room 208 is a private, negative-pressure airflow room; room 212 is a semi-private, positive-pressure airflow room; 214 is a negative-pressure, semi-private room; and room 216 is a private, positive-pressure airflow room. To which of the following rooms should the nurse assign the client?

A. Anemia: While stress can have various effects on the body, anemia is not specifically a direct manifestation of prolonged stress. It is more commonly associated with nutritional deficiencies or chronic disease.
B. Hypoglycemia: Prolonged stress typically leads to increased levels of cortisol and other stress hormones, which can cause hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar) rather than hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
C. Decreased blood pressure: Prolonged stress usually causes increased blood pressure rather than decreased blood pressure. The body's stress response involves the release of hormones that typically raise blood pressure.
D. Impaired immune function: Prolonged stress can lead to immune system suppression, making the body more susceptible to infections and illnesses. This is a well-documented effect of chronic stress and is thus a correct manifestation to include in the teaching.

A. Grandparents: While grandparents can provide valuable information, parents are typically the primary source of information about a child’s medical history, current symptoms, and behavioral changes.
B. Admitting provider: The admitting provider's role is to assess and diagnose the client. While they provide essential clinical information, they are not the primary source for personal and historical data about the client.
C. Parents: Parents are the most reliable source of information regarding the toddler's medical history, current condition, and any changes in behavior or health. They are most familiar with the child’s day-to-day health and medical background.
D. Medical record: Although the medical record contains important information, it may not have the most recent updates or contextual details that parents can provide. It is important to corroborate the information in the medical record with input from the parents.
