The Correct Answer is {"xRanges":[413.765625,473.765625],"yRanges":[424.609375,484.609375]}
A transverse colon colostomy is typically placed in the upper abdomen, either in the middle or toward the right side of the body. In the above scenario the best location will be B which is located along the path of the transverse colon. Point A would be suitable for an ileostomy while point B will be suitable for a sigmoid colostomy.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A) While wearing an N95 respirator may be necessary for certain infections, it is not a routine precaution for clients in protective isolation.
B) Ensuring the client's room has positive-pressure airflow helps prevent the entry of airborne pathogens into the room, reducing the risk of infection for the immunocompromised client.
C) Using disposable plates and utensils helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination and infection transmission but is not directly related to airborne infection control.
D) Monitoring the client's temperature is important for assessing for signs of infection, but it does not directly prevent infection transmission in the same way as positive-pressure airflow.
Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","D","E"]

E) The blood pressure decreased from 176/82 to 110/62.
