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. Financial difficulties: Correct. Financial difficulties are a psychological stressor as they impact mental and emotional well-being, contributing to stress.
B. Hypothermia: This is a physiological stressor, as it involves a physical condition affecting the body's health rather than psychological aspects.
C. Burn injury: This is also a physiological stressor resulting from physical harm rather than a psychological impact.
D. Wrist fracture: This is a physical stressor due to injury, not a psychological one, as it affects physical health rather than mental well-being.

A. The goal of palliative care is to prolong the life of a client: The primary goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life by alleviating symptoms and providing support, rather than specifically prolonging life.
B. Palliative care is not restricted to clients who are terminally ill: Palliative care can be provided to any client with a serious illness, regardless of the stage of their condition. It focuses on comfort and quality of life rather than just end-of-life care.
C. Palliative care should be avoided for a client who is receiving a cure: Palliative care is not mutually exclusive with curative treatment. It can be provided alongside curative therapies to manage symptoms and improve the client’s quality of life.
D. Palliative care is limited to clients who are in a health care facility: Palliative care can be provided in various settings, including at home, in outpatient clinics, and in healthcare facilities. It is not restricted to any particular location.
